I read several SF stories in July and enjoyed them all: Sleeping Giants and Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel, Binti and Home by Nnedi Okorafor, The High Crusade by Poul Anderson, and Company Town by Madeline Ashby.

After these I took a break from SF and read The Great Escape by Paul Brickhall, Love Among the Chickens by P.G. Wodehouse, The Homecoming by Earl Hamner Jr., Your Turn, Mr. Moto by J.P. Marquand, Burglars Can't Be Choosers by Lawrence Block, Being There by Jerzy Kosinski, Zuleika Dobson by Max Beerbohm, and Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh. Currently I'm reading Jane Eyre
.
