Series: Only Magic in the Building #7

My Review:

Another fun installment of the Only Magic in the Building series. These books are all set in the same historic building, with light magical elements. One thing I appreciate is that the "magical" element is different in each book.

July Reading Wrap Up 2026

July was a weird month. I had quite a few health things going on, but seemed to have a bit more free time than I have had lately. I finished 22 books, and I had one DNF. Unfortunately, overall, I feel like the last half of the month was mediocre reading, with a few exceptions. I had three 2-star reads, which is super rare for me (I don't list two stars or DNFs here). Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

Selling Out is the third book in the Sheppards in Love series. The series focuses on the Sheppard siblings, and I recommend reading the books in order.

My Review:

I loved this book!  I will say that, given how the story is written, it might not translate as well to audio; I feel like it might be a little harder to follow.

Stacking the Shelves #218 Sunday Post #215 Sunday Salon #209

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? I am doing okay. I did finally get my results from my Table Tilt Test. I do not have POTS, which is good news, but I do have vasovagal syncope (fainting disorder). Long story short, I am to do slow positional changes and avoid my triggers (easier said than done), but at least I know what it is and it is manageable. This weekend we are hoping to go on a few hikes, attend Church, and try and relax. What are you up to?
