As I don't think I'm going to complete my challenges this year, I'm posting my final picks for the prompts.

Lots to avoid here, I'm afraid!
pickHello Litsy!
I know it's been a while since I posted, but it's a combination of the app not working, a broken hip, and a reading slump!
Anyway, this book has helped get me out of the 4 month reading slump, so I recommend it with reservations. The next picture I post will be under a spoiler, as it contains the content warnings.
#aty25 #characterineducation @BarbaraBB
It was very close between The Word is Murder and Dead Simple (hence the bonus pick), but considering that I've already bought another book in the Horowitz series and not the James, I think it means this book won for September.
pickThis is a definite new favourite series! I can't say too much about this because we haven't discussed it yet, but I feel for Shardlake. He doesn't seem to get a break from some of his problems!
I'm doing the series on Audible, and Steven Crossley does a fab job of doing different voices for the characters.

No surprise that this is my top book for July!
With the tagged book being my last read for July, I hit my page goal! Any more is an added bonus - I didn't know at what number to set my goal so the final result will be a surprise!
pick#popsugar #recommendedbyabookseller - this was recommended to me when I went for my reading spa at Mr B's in Bath a couple of years ago!
Thank you for my #staycationintimeswap! I love everything and looking forward to reading the books whilst drinking the coffee!
pickI picked up the book on Monday, & finished it on Wednesday! 😂
This is my second Percival Everett (after Dr. No), & I'm searching out the backlist (luckily, I have a few on Kindle already). Considering I don't like Huckleberry Finn, I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this retelling! It's not quite 5 stars, as there were a couple of bits that were hard to read.

There is no photo of the parcel, but the #staycationintime swap is coming!
pickNot as good as the first, but still important issues discussed (in comments). I didn't get the culprit this time.

pickI did manage to work out the baddie in this one (which is very rare for me to do), and yes, I like this series too!

pickAnother series started, and I loved it! I didn't get the culprits in this one, and looking forward to reading the next one.

Thank you, @AlldeBooks, for everything in my #litsolacemidsummerswap #naturalitsymidsummerswap package. I love everything, and the sweet pea seeds made me smile, as everyone in the card swap knows why I love them so much! I'm looking forward to reading the books too!

I sent all #naturalitsymidsummerswap matches on Tuesday. I have received replies from 6 of you, but can the tagged people please confirm via email (in the comments, as my Litsy app isn't working correctly)?

Birthday haul so far... I have more vouchers to spend!
1. Brain scan results have come back - no change, and it's stable.
2. Following on from #1, I don't have to have another scan for another 2 years.
3. Jaffa has sat on my lap several times (he's only just becoming a lap cat!)
4. I've had an email from the diabetes team saying that I can finally get a sensor fitted to track my blood sugars better.
5. I've finally managed to get some #litsylove out!
