Reading Journey 2020 - Books We Read in July

Our 2020 Reading Journey – Month 7

As I mentioned in my post from earlier this year, I decided that this year I would record all the books my 5 year old and I read together. I’ve been snapping a quick picture of all the books from each day, and collecting them in an album over on my blog’s Facebook page. I’m a bit late with the update for June, but here’s our pile of books from our seventh month:

    I think this is just such a lovely idea! I have just created writing prompts for book lovers so I am all for recording our reading journey.

    It looks like you’ve read a great selection this year so far.

    You’ve been going some to get through that pile. We love a bit of Julia Donaldson in this house.
