Audiobooks Galore, My Romantasy Era, and More (July 2026 Reading Wrap Up)

Looking back on July, it’s crazy to think how this was probably my best month of 2026 so far. It’s also crazy how I read 2 Romantasy books in a row and loved both. Note: the Pub Meeple ranking does not include all 16 books, since I got through quite a few audiobooks within the last couple days of the month.  Edit to add: I had read quite a few books between recording this video and July 31st. I did mh best to have the stats below be as accurate as possible. But you can always go to my Storygraph.
