This week was always one of my favorites growing up – it’s the start of my birthday month and…there’s fireworks! The Independence Day holiday was always split between time at the golf course (and swimming pool) with my dad and time at my family’s farm having fun with my cousins. In high school, it was also my reminder to start cramming for my summer reading deadlines – if you’re reading this and have deadlines…get to it!
This week, we’re honoring the Independence Day holiday by reading books set in Washington D.C.. I’ll also be sharing a great upcoming release by one of my favorite authors and our monthly theme and playlist. What are you reading this week?
Here’s the books I’m looking forward to discussing with you this week. Grab your copies of these books by clicking the images below:

RWL Reading Challenge – Week 27: Set in Washington D.C.
Law of Attraction
by Allison Leotta
Posting on Tuesday, July 1st
When a rookie federal prosecutor crosses paths with a repeat offender and his lawyer, it creates a story that makes headlines and will change her life forever. Written by a former federal prosecutor, this has the feel of someone pulling back the curtains on the legal system in DC.
Here’s some other great options for this prompt:
- Bestseller: Never Go Back, Lee Child
- General Fiction: River, Cross My Heart, Breena Clarke
- Romance: The Senator’s Wife, Karen Robards
- Thriller: Point Blank, Catherine Coulter
- Nonfiction: Grand Avenues, Scott W. Berg
July Theme

Since it’s my birthday month, I chose one of my favorite colors for this month’s theme – turquoise! I can’t wait to share our reading playlist with you, too!
