Last Updated: 19 October 2024

As we come towards the end of another glorious summer, it's time to recap on the past few months of bookish behaviour. Read on to find out all the latest goings-on in The Writing Greyhound's July/August 2018 reading round-up!

What is Reading Round-Up?

Reading round-up is a simple way for me to keep track of everything book-related and a fun way to show my readers what I've been reading over the last few months!

Out are the books I've read in July and August.

In are the books I've acquired during that time.

And wishlist are the books I've found out about and want to buy but haven't managed to get my hands on yet!

This year's @yalc_uk haul! 📚
