I started off July pretty strong in keeping up with my blog. But then I hit a mental block and needed more time to myself. So I didn’t think I’d have a ton of posts to share for July 2025 On My Radar, but happily I do! Check out these posts by your fellow bloggers and show them some love.

July was a good month for book reviews, it seems! Thanks for including a few of mine😁
It does seem like it was a good month for reviews! I looked through more than I realized!
This is a lovely post! I am always looking for active bloggers to check out and this helps me so much.
You’re welcome! Hope this helps…I do one of these near the end of every month. 🙂
Thanks for linking to my review Celeste. I loved Briana’s post about the Mum wanting recommendations. Some of those reactions were so over the top
You’re welcome! I got logged out of my Twitter account when I bought a new phone, so I haven’t logged in in months; but I’ll take your word for it. Are you on Bluesky by chance, or still only on Twitter?
I’m still on Twitter but only visit every so often as so few people that I know are still there now ☹️
Wow, I’m glad I missed the Twitter meltdown! Intersections post about it, though!
Thank you good including my review!
I did, too, because I’m not logged into my account there anymore. I still have it, but when I switched to a new phone it logged me out and I couldn’t be bothered to log back into that dumpster fire.
I deleted my account back in November or December, so I miss a lot. Sometimes, that’s bad, but usually, it’s a good thing.
Yea, I think usually it’s a good thing. Seems like Threads is a great substitute for Twitter if you like drama. Yikes.
I’m happy to avoid drama whenever possible. I haven’t figured Threads out yet, anyway. I don’t get much interaction, and I only seem to see those posts asking for followers. Nothing else.
