July was full of new faces and old friends as we welcomed many first-time writers and saw quite a few longtime members return (some after eight years!). We loved seeing these enthusiastic reviewers and their exotic locales—so welcome, or welcome back.
Here are four of the longtime members we’re thrilled to see again:
