🎉 Book Talk Forum July 2025 Reading Challenge Winners👏

“Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author’s words reverberating in your head.” – Paul Auster, The Brooklyn Follies

Off to stalk all the logs now to dig up some more Disability themed reads - this theme was a real eye-opener for me and ngl, pretty proud of my 4K odd pages in what has otherwise been a shitty month.

I really liked this theme and there were so many other books I wanted to read but the month was too short.
