I cannot get the New Leaf book club selection (Percy Jackson) anywhere and I have bought too many books this month to justify shelling out for a book I don't really have any interest in. I'm a little allergic to YA and I have a lot of other things on my plate for July.

I finished
Gently Continental in two sittings and then flew through Katharine Duckett's
Miranda in Milan in one sitting. It was free from the TOR LGBT bundle last month. It was a little short, but it was creative and enjoyable, if a little schmaltzy.
I started Rebecca Makai's
The Great Believers, a fictional account of the AIDS epidemic in Chicago in the 1980s. I don't know anyone my age or older who is a member of the LGBT community and not in some way touched by AIDS. Even now, I cannot give blood due to some of the relief work I have done. I have had this on the back burner of my TBR since it came out, and pride month seemed a good time to read it. I have not been disappointed.
I will still be starting Henry James'
The Turn of the Screw for A Public Space's continued reading club on July 9th. At 15ish pages a day, I plan to make that my coffee reading in the mornings so that I can participate in the discussions all day long.
