Wow! How could August be over already? Summer is ending, and it all just flew by. The good news: I read more books this month than last. The not-so-good news: not as many as some previous months.
There were some stunning books on my stack. Click the titles for my reviews, and tell me about your month.

Yes! I loved so many of my August books, including that one, so it was hard to pick just one or two favorites. Thanks for stopping by, Mary.

I enjoyed Lost Lake and Summer Girls. My reading has slowed down too. You are a speed reader compared to me. I’m glad you had a good month. I hope Sept. is just as good.
