August Reading Recap

I had predicted that I wasn’t going to have read that many books in the month of August because I had started with HoSaB and knew I’d have a book hangover… and it did indeed start that way. I really only had two books read by the second week of August and then suddenly BAM! Seventeen. I also listened to five audiobooks which is a record for me. I think I’ve listened to five the entire year before August!

My favorite books this month were HoSaB / Gemina and Obsidio and Nimona. I have started off September with the cozy fantasy, A Rival Most Vial by RK Ashwick. My goal for September is to read some of the book box books that have been piling up and Rival was the July pick from Fox & Wit.
