I have two ABC books, and I hope to read and release at least one of them. I'm still working on my reading of the current Hugo and Aurora awards nominees, so I'm keeping my BC goals modest for July!

The first book I hope to complete in July is this one:
http://bookcrossing.com/journal/16460577

I'll be reading it for the TIOLI challenge here on LT in the group called 75 Books Challenge for 2022 for my own challenge to read a biography, autobiography, or memoir about a person in the medical field.

As you see, I've also made this book into a bookray for two other ladies who like to get books from my Little Free Library of Twinbrook. They both are Bookcrossing members, but they almost never write journal entries. They do follow my BookCrossing page, though, to see which books I'm releasing! These two are actually competition for each other as they both seem to like the same books. :D

One of the books I am hoping to finish in July is Go Tell the Bees that I am Gone which, like all of the Outlander books, is massive. I'm halfway through it but I had to put it to one side for some library books. I finished one loaned book but I think I am only going to commit to two books for July. If I get another one done that will be icing on the cake.

>3 SqueakyChu: This book looks interesting. A few years ago, I'd read The Night Shift by Brian Goldman, an emergency room physician as well as a CBC radio host, and I liked it very much.

>4 gypsysmom: I hope you managed to achieve your July goal!

There's been a lull in roundabout books, so I didn't have any pressure to finish one for July. From my shelves, I finished Fire Watch by Connie Willis and that's now registered and ready for release.

>5 mathgirl40: Good planning on my part to keep my goal to only two books. I was reading Go Tell the Bees I am Gone late into the night on July 31 but I did finish it. It and the loaned books that I mentioned in 4 completed my goal.
