A Month of Murder and Gardening
I only put four books on the reading list for July and I ended up reading three of them, plus three others. I only read in two genres: crime/thriller novels and gardening books. My ratings range from one star all the way up to four. No five-star reads this month. Hopefully August will deliver at least one. Here’s what I read in July.

June was a pretty slow reading month for me. I read five books and began two others. My ratings for the five books I completed only averaged out at 3.4 stars, so it wasn’t a spectacular rating month either, although I did have one 5-star read. Here’s what I read:

I read ten books in April, all fiction: eight novels and two novellas. And I didn’t abandon any of the books I started. It was a very good reading month, with ratings ranging from 3 stars to 5 stars, with an average of 4 stars for the month.
What I read (ranked from lowest to highest rated):
1. LEVERAGE IN DEATH (In Death #47) by JD Robb
Crime Fiction, Futuristic, 3 stars
This brings me up to date with this series, but this one was a disappointment. In any long series, there will inevitably be highs and lows. It wasn’t a terrible book, but the characters seemed caricatures, each one just a set of their typical quirks and no more. The mystery wasn’t up to par, either, and the perpetrators and their motives just didn’t convince me. Still, a quick read with some fun to be had. Not recommended unless you’re already a fan and/or want to complete the series.
