July 2018 Books vs Moods

This is probably the shortest list that I have put up since I started the blog. The previous one was: June 2018 Books vs Moods I actually debated not putting this up at all and merging it with the next month, but then again I cannot help myself! My usual disclaimers would be longer than the…

The World According to Bertie (44 Scotland Street #4) by Alexander McCall Smith

The previous books I reviewed of the series are below, do look through them to get a better understanding of why I am about to gush about this book which does not really fit any specific genre (though it is listed under a few in multiple places).    This particular edition of the chronicles of…
