July 2021 Summary: 08/01/21

Reading report

July began a cautious reopening of things, although with the delta varient I'm not sure how long this reopening will continue. Vaccination rates are higher here than in some places in the States. Ian has started going back to work in person with masking required. Our youngest went on an eight day summer cruise with the marine scouts and fellow sea scouts. Everyone on the ships were vaccinated.

I read more books in July, 30, up from 20 in the previous month. Of my July read books, eighteen were diverse. On the reviews front, twenty qualified. Of those read, ten were queer. Of the reviewed books, seven were.

I have 30 books of the 186 books read this year to review. I am basically running in place now between books read and reviews posted.
