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?
