August found me with more reading time...although the month still flew past.
I finished 21 books again in August and DNFed 4. Audio books really helped my numbers this month, as did a few short books. I am back to my average 😊. Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review.

How did August go for you? Can you believe we are going into the last quarter of the year?!
Well one! And you remind me I need to reread The Phantom Tollbooth!
ReplyDeleteEmma, yes, you do :)
DeleteOops, I meant well done!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLooks like you had a great month of reading! I'm eager to read Just Don't Fall and The Love Script, hopefully, soon. I just need to get my ARC pile down a little ways. :D
ReplyDeleteAshley, I understand that completely. I start slowing down on ARCs at this time of the year so I can better reach my other goals.
DeleteWith so many 4- and 5-star books on your list I can see that August really was a good month of reading for you. The copy of Just Don't Fall that I put on hold at my library just came in, so I'm hoping to pick it up soon. :D
ReplyDeleteLark, it really was. Oh yay, I hope you LOVE Just Don't Fall!!!
DeleteYou're rocking your challenges! I still have 11 states to go on my Literary Escapes challenge. It's taking me forever to finish it this year for some reason.
ReplyDeleteSusan, my literary escapes was 2022, it took me HALF this year to finish the last 11, LOL!
DeleteThe cover for Susie's really drew me in when it was released last year (or whenever it made the rounds) and I need to give another of Rachel Fordham's a chance. I read her debut (I think) and have this vague memory that I did enjoy it. Looks like you had a great reading month. :)
ReplyDeleteRissi, Susan's just came out this year :) I love Rachel's books!
