August seemed to fly by…literally. But the month brought so many wonderful books to read and review, that I had a difficult time picking only one favorite. Sometimes I present a tie, but this month, I would have had to choose three or four favorites. Or even more.
I’m linking up with Kathryn at Book Date. Check in with a few other bloggers to see what they enjoyed in August. And have a fabulous September!

CURL UP AND READ 
I’ve seen several good reviews for Behind Closed Doors this week or so… and I just finished Truly Madly Guilty a couple days ago and liked it a lot. You’re right about august- I can’t believe it’s Sept. 1 st already. Man that went by quick…

Definitely a quick month, Greg. And I loved Behind Closed Doors…and Truly Madly Guilty. It was hard to pick a favorite. I probably should have listed several. Thanks for visiting.

Oh wow Leave Me gets the nod! In such great company too. I hope she keeps writing adult fiction now that she has made a start.

Oh, I vote for her to write more adult fiction, too. I don’t really like YA books…but do read them occasionally. The two of hers that I read were good, but I was wowed by Leave Me. Thanks for visiting, Kathryn. Glad you enjoyed it, too.

Thanks, Stormi, I was hoping for more, but actually reading three books a week is a comfortable pace for me..

I was awestruck by Leave Me, Diane…I had a feeling I would be, but despite having read two books by the author, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Her first adult book knocked it out of the park for me. Thanks for visiting, and enjoy your September.
