My August Reading Summary

Overall mood: eager. We’re back on the reading train this month! I’ll warn you know, this is a lot summary as I’ve managed to read 18 books (I know!) this month. I am adding a few more books to my regular list of reads each month for the next two months, and if you are familiar with this blog you may be able to guess why. The books I’ve read in August have been eye-opening, incredibly addicting,…

August Reading Summary

Written in the Stars: 4 stars (ARC) Strictly come Dating: 3 Stars (ARC) Beach Read: 4 Stars Perfect on Paper: 4 Stars (ARC) There Are Things I Can’t Tell You (Graphic novel): 4 Stars The House of Cerulean Sea: 5 Stars The Love Study: DNF’d, no rating

August was a little better than June or July, but not by much. However, the quality of books I read this month were a bit higher than usual. I think the only book I rated below 4 stars was Strictly Come Dating, which I gave 3 stars. I gave it 3 stars because the author spelled lasagna and lasagne, and my Italian self got angry and petty. I didn’t rate The Love Study as I didn’t finish it, and I didn’t feel right rating a book I didn’t finish especially since it wasn’t written for me.

I finally got back into the swing of things with my reading bullet journal, so I’m excited to finally keep track of what I’ve read and challenges I meet. I have a list of books to help me check off some of the prompts on the Pop Sugar Challenge, thanks @coffeebooksorme who is the bestest.

August: Reading Summary

Holy shit, August was a busy reading month. I had to count Obsidio since I technically finished in August, but I listened to the majority of it in July. A few of these were ARCs that I was given through NetGalley, so not only did I increase my reading, but I’ve also increased the number of ARCs I’ve been given in a month. I’m pretty excited about that because I didn’t think I would ever get ARCs. The Fat-A-Thon really helped boost my numbers up this month, and I’m excited that I got six books read for that challenge in a week. There were a few duds this month, but for the most part, I really enjoyed what I read for August.

The only book I have scheduled to read for September is Darkdawn. I ordered the Fae Crate hangover box for it, and that’s when I realized that I actually won’t get the book when it comes out, so that will be my goal this week come Tuesday. I may reread Nevernight and Godsgrave first so I can familiarize myself with the characters again. There’s also the Contemporary-A-Thon that I’ll probably do as well since the bestest loaned me books for that. “YOU MUST READ THESE.” And who am I to argue?

Also, I’ve gone over my 50 books to read in the year by 11 so far. Overachiever, what?
