Astra by Cedar Bowers is an adult debut contemporary/literary fiction novel. It tells the story of a woman named Astra but not through her perspective but from the perspective of the people around her who play a significant role in her life. I rated it five stars on Goodreads. It was published on June 1st, 2021.
In July I read 23 books. I felt a little bit slumpy this month, but it’s still a pretty good amount of books read. I read some pretty good books too so I can’t complain. You’ll find everything I read and hauled this month below the cut.
This month was a pretty great reading month in turns of the quality of the books I read. It’s not my highest number this year, but I read a lot of really awesome five star books and it’s going to be pretty impossible to choose which is my monthly favourite!
This was an excellent start to a new year of OwlCrates. I loved the items and the book was one that I loved. Overall, it’s going to be hard for the rest of the year’s boxes to beat this one.
