August is here and Summer is in full swing!
As you know, one of my favorite ways to keep myself entertained is with a good book. Thankfully there’s plenty of great reading material available and tons of fantastic new books coming out this month too! This month you’ll find out what books I’m reading, what I thought of books I read last month, what new books are coming out, and a smattering of fun bookish posts along the way.
Can I be honest with you guys? I have a bit of a shopping problem, especially when it comes to books and I’m [only slightly] embarrassed to admit that I received quite a few book haul deliveries in June and July. The TBR book piles are starting to grow on our bookshelves and I may have to put myself on a brief no book buying break until I read more of my unread books! Let’s see how long I can go without buying new books [oh, but my monthly book subscriptions totally don’t count ;)]
Scroll on to check out all the bookish goodness!
