I don't know how we are already at the end of August! I didn't have as many 5-star reads this month, but I still read a lot of good books. I read 17 books (1 reread) and had 4 DNF's and one two star read (which I don't talk about on here). Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

Overall, this was an interesting reading month. With our travels I listened to 6 audiobooks, otherwise I would not have completed so many books. With being sick, I also caught up on some of my progress with my reading challenges. I am excited to be knocking books off of my physical bookshelves!
You are a prolific reader. Happy Wednesday my friend.

Thanks Regine!
DeleteYou had such a productive month! Mine was less so, but I had a couple 5 star reads. I'll take that as a win!
ReplyDeleteEthan, 5 star reads always equals winning, LOL!
DeleteIt's crazy how fast the months go by.
ReplyDeleteLark, it really is!
Deletewow, 17 is a lot!!
ReplyDeletewith 9, it was a slow go for me this time: https://wordsandpeace.com/2025/10/01/2025-september-wrap-up/
Emma, again, lots of audiobooks and time in the car! Plus, I tend to read for about an hour before bed, it adds up.
DeleteYou did amazing! I only read 8 books in September, but I got lucky that I loved a lot of them (partly because most of them were part of a series!).
ReplyDeleteHaze, I also wasn't in school :) Glad your books were enjoyable!
DeleteYou are doing so well with your challenges Cindy! I hope October is turning out to be a great reading month.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jodie!
DeleteI so appreciate you reviewing clean reads. I'm a clean reader across multiple genres too. I get irritated when I'm in a good book that has my attention and end up having to stop or skip over sexy scenes just to keep up with a good story. I'm going to have to check some of these out.
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches for sharing with Sweet Tea & Friends this month dear friend.
Also Incase you didn't know I host a Quarterly bookish Link up over at my book blog. The next one is in November. I'd love for you to Link up what you're reading. I love hearing about new reads and recommendations.
