It’s my birthday month! That also means it’s halfway through the year, and the summer. It’s hotter than hot outside and I’m spending most of my time inside reading good books in the A/C dreaming of places far away. How are you spending your time this summer?
Our monthly prompt for July is my favorite color – turquoise! We are also honoring the Independence Day holiday and my birthday with our prompts this month. I can’t wait to share these great books with you!

What books would you add to this list?
Putting this playlist together taught me that the word “turquoise” is the same or very similar in many languages. As I was looking for songs to add from other countries, but most languages I searched were the same word. I will say one of my favorite songs made the list the month – can you figure out which one it is?
