I was able to get through a ton of books this month, bringing the August count to 13! I tried to get as many as I could in because I knew with school starting I wouldn’t have much time for reading.
Well, here are the books I read:
Here are the ones I wrote reviews for:
Followed by Frost by Charlie N. Holmberg Review/ Discussion
Drop Dead Perfect by Rick Murcer
The Heart of Betrayal by Mary E. Pearson
Ones that I summarized:
The Assassinβs Blade Summary
Updates:
I think my book of the month (not including my ToG rereads) will have to be Flawed for this month. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like it, despite the genre.
My mini September look-ahead includes A Torch Against the Night (which I have coming tomorrow!!!), Empire of Storms, Three Dark Crowns, and the Throne of Glass coloring book! It’s also my birthday month so I’ll probably have a pretty nice haul.
What did you read this month? Leave your links in the comments and I’ll check them out!

Thirteen books! Woo! Congrats… That’s awesome! I haven’t tallied mine up yet, but I’m thinking around 10 books for me this month. I’ll have my wrap-up posted today or tomorrow hopefully. Trying to get some last minute reviews in, but don’t know that I’ll make it!!

Yeah sometimes setting up the synopsis and all the links can be very time-consuming. And ten books, that’s awesome! I’ll be reading your wrap up

That’s true… I just put them back on my currently reading shelf and it counted towards the challenge. I’m not sure if you can do it for books more than once a year

That’s what I was thinking. Hopefully I’ll complete my challenge before the year is up and I can reread them π

13 books is really impressive for one month!
I really need to get around to reading the Throne of Glass series. I love fantasy and I’ve heard great things about ToG so I’m not sure what’s taking me so long haha
I got flawed a few months ago and still haven’t read it. Another one that I need to get around to. π
I looove Ellen Hopkins. I think I’ve read all except for 3 of her books. She never lets me down π

Ellen Hopkins was certainly a unique experience for me and I should probably find time to read more of her books. You should definitely go for ToG, it’s amazing!

A bajillion stars π but actually I would give the first one 4 stars and the rest 5. I’m really biased towards this series and I see no wrongs, but a lot of people don’t like them as much as I do

You definitely had a great month!β€ What were your thoughts on The Cursed Child?

Well, I didn’t fall in love with it, but it was certainly nostalgic. There were certain aspects that weren’t quite as magical as the original books, and I didn’t like the script format. I think it would have been more enjoyable if it was written novel-style. My favorite part was the characters. I loved the way we got more insight into Draco and Scorpius was pretty awesome. Overall I liked it, but it’s not something that I really consider as an “eighth book”.

Scorpius was my favorite part about the book, and I also loved how Dumbledore and Draco really opened up in this one. I’m still hoping this will be written in novel format, too…eventually… π
