It's August which means the end of the summer is almost here. I know many love the summer months but autumn is my absolute favourite. All of the spooky movies. Pumpkin spice everything. Cooler weather. Cozy blankets and delicious smelling candles. September through December is normally my favourite time of year.
By the time August ends Starbucks will have pumpkin spice lattes back in stores, and all of the Halloween stuff will have started appearing on shelves! I cannot wait. My apologizes to those mourning the upcoming end of summer.
Before sharing what I hope to read this month I have to recap July first.
The books that were on my list are:
Here is what I managed to read in June:
Plus I had some ebooks on my list:
Five Little Indians by Michelle Good (goodreads)
The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M Danforth (goodreads)
If The Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy (goodreads)
Isn't It Bromantic by Lyssa Kay Adams (goodreads)
I managed to get in four books this month. I have been working a different shift at work and it has majorly cut into my reading time. Thankfully, I'll be going to a shift that is more like my regular one soon and I hope that equals more reading time.
My #PopCultureResolution book for July was Survive the Night by Riley Sager. The movie was Frailty. I reviewed the movie and the book if you are interested in checking them out.
Here is what I hope to read in August:
It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey (goodreads)
Movie Star by Lizzie Pepper by Hilary Liftin (goodreads)
Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney (goodreads)
I Am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll (goodreads)
I also have some ebooks I am hoping to get to:
56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard (goodreads)
My #PopCultureResolution picks for this month are The Golden Cage by Camilla Lackberg (called The Gilded Cage here) and Ready or Not. I am expecting a fun campy vibe for Ready or Not and I am excited to read my first Camilla Lackberg novel.
Next up is an update on my two reading challenges:
August's pick for my '12 friends, 12 books' reading challenge is The Grace Year by Kim Leggitt so I'll be getting to that at some point this month. I am also going to read The Song of Achilles since my library copy did not come in on time.
