I don’t know if I’m gonna stick to the TBR I have planned for August. Last month was a bit of a struggle and I’m feeling like I’m headed for a slump. So, I’m gonna try not to be to hard on myself if I don’t get to all these lovely books this month. 📚

My tentative TBR for August:

Heartsong (not pictured) -currently reading

A Song Below Water

Bloom

Free Hand (not pictured)

I Hope You Get This Message

Felix Ever After

What are you planning to read this month?

Currently reading:

I've been working my way through Maya Angelou's autobiographies as I get hold of them. I generally read each book in a day, it's almost impossible to put them down! I ordered this one online, but the earlier ones I had borrowed from the library.

The others are books I'll keep at my bedside and hopefully finish in the next couple of weeks.

July 2020 Wrap Up

Images rom my Goodreads page

July was such a busy month for my reading life - thanks to The Reading Rush and a week-long vacation from work. My month was full of amazing books and I hope you had just as successful a month with your own reading piles! 

Here are a few of my favorites from the month: 

The Kyoshi Novels by F.C. Yee: The second book in this series was released recently and I couldn’t help but reread the first, directly diving into the second afterward. I love the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and these companion novels, adding to the canon with Avatar Kyoshi (the Earth Avatar before Aang), are absolutely wonderful. <3 

The Adventure Zone: Petals to the Metal by the McElroy’s (Clint, Justin, Travis, and Griffin) and Cary Pietsch (Illustrator): If you’ve ever listened to the Dungeons & Dragons podcast, The Adventure Zone (podcast website), then you’ll be obsessed with these wonderful graphic novel adaptations! This is the third installment and I hate that they are making me wait one year in between each release. GAH! 

Kiki’s Delivery Service by Eiko Kadono (Author) & Emily Balistrieri (Translator): If you love the Studio Ghibli film (by the same name) as much as I, then you’ll adore the book that inspired it! This is such a special work for me since Kiki has been an inspiration of my love for witches since I was a small child! 

Heartstopper series by Alice Oseman: I have a complete review for the first volume of this comic and I’m adding it here, again, because it’s so cute! I love the humor, the artwork, and the wonderful gay-centered relationship between Nick and Charlie. 

I’m hoping August will be just as productive for my reading habits as July has been. My vacation is almost over, though, so I may lose a bit of time to work. Pesky bills. :) 

Stay healthy and safe. And, as always, stay reading my book friends! <3  Feel free to reach out to me here at any of these: Tumblr | Instagram | Goodreads.

"Just my luck. The first colleague I'd befriended at the agency and it was an alcoholic supercomputer."

Loving this read so far! AIs and human relationships are my kryptonite.

9 Things That Happen When You Find The Perfect Page-Turner

“If you love thrillers, you know what I’m talking about. While some books are meant to be savored, others are meant to keep you up long after you should have dozed off. Some books are meant to be re-read again and again with thorough analysis, while thrillers are often about the excitement of that first read.”

My mum is forgiven for the hike. We went to look at a free couch and the bloke was a retired environmental academic and they're moving to a smaller place so are downsizing their library.

I welcome the new friends to the every growing reading pile!

Last Book I bought - Neal Stephenson - Quicksilver

Last Book I bought – Neal Stephenson – Quicksilver

Yes, I’ve read Snowcrash and a couple of other books by Neal Stephenson. Somehow, this one passed under my radar. I had a book credit, so I thought I’d pick it up.
