Jo and I had a lovely day out today, spent time... and a bit of money.. at Comox's Nautical Days. Lots of interesting crafts persons. Then, since we were downtown anyway, we had lunch at Benino's. Jo won 2 out of 3 games of Sequence.
Anyway here is my monthly reading summary for Jul 2022. Happy with my overall totals. No 5-star ratings but still for the most part an enjoyable reading month.
