I feel good about my August reading. I managed 17 books (including one story & one children‘s book) & made it partially through two more. A mix of genres & lots of series books. Favorites were The Forty Elephants for #SundayBuddyRead & Incidents Around the House, 😱 Hello Stranger & The Undermining of Twyla & Frank. Bear for #CampLitsy24 & Unwell Women for #SheSaid & Black Sheep were also of note. I managed all three of my #Roll100 books too.🎉📚
Not a lot of chores got done, but a good number of books were read #livingmybestlife

Favorite of August: After The Fist Death
With literally a minute to spare before midnight, I finished While Idaho Slept, bringing my total books read to 14. The top row were my favorites, but I didn‘t hate anything I finished. Lots of new-to-me authors and new series, which is both good and bad. 😂 #augustwrapup #auguststats

My as usual overly ambitious August TBR!
Taking part in #SundayBuddyRead #CampLitsy24 #Roll100 #SheSaid #Naturalitsy read along, NancyDrewBR, #BobWhiteBuddies #ChildrensClassicRead2024 #SeasonalCozies I‘m also continuing several series, fitting in some library holds, trying to finish up an ARC & a few other carryovers including some #Roll100 picks.
I won‘t finish all of these (even though one is completed) but I‘ll do my best! 📚🤷🏻♀️📚
August TBR. I have started three of these already: The Spellshop, which is just okay so far; Momentous Events in the Life of a Cactus, which is delightfully, as expected; and The Alternatives. I switched to audio for The Alternatives, but I think I missed something, so I‘m going to have to grab the ebook. I‘m not sure if I‘ll have to switch back to ebook for all of it.

Thanks to @BarbaraBB for letting me know about this newish reading app Bookmory - it‘s an excellent tool for tracking your current reads! it‘s user friendly and totally fun 🤩 Love it 😍 Here‘s my August reads! I read a BUNCH of AMAZING books this month!
August was a tough month for reading time but I managed to get 7 books finished & I started a couple of others. I liked everything I read & The Book of Cold Cases, The Traveling Cat Chronicles & The Half-Life of Ruby Fielding were my favorites. 4 books were for #buddyreads for #SundayBuddyRead #PemberLittens & #FoodandLit #Japan & 3 were ARCs for review & the #AugustARCReadathon
August was an odd reading month. Not many stellar reads, but higher than average number of books for me
✅read 1 #roll100 selection, bailed on the second, and had previously read the third in July
✅read my #doublespin, but not my #bookspin
✅read Aug‘s #whartonbuddyread
✅read Aug‘s #diversecozy which also worked for #foodandlit
✅added 7 more books to #192025
✅6/9 from my TBR

My #augustwrapup looks almost nothing like my proposed TBR, but I did manage 6 books from that original list and I bailed on at least 3 others. I finished 15 books, which makes me happy, even if 3 of them were unplanned rereads. Lots of brain candy, the majority of the books were 4-5 star reads, and just few heartbreaking disappointments. #auguststats
I'm off for 3 days during this readathon, so I hopefully will end up posting some decent hrs.
My goals:
Finish Troy
Finish The Windup Girl
Start 2 new books
Read 30 hours

I‘m taking it down to the wire even more than usual this time, but here‘s my #bookspinbingo stack for August! The Sound of the Sea is still on the way, so I had to cheat it in there. 😬 And now I don‘t have to wait very long to see the numbers! I love seeing everyone‘s lists and stacks every month.
Thanks to the brilliant idea from @sprainedbrain I will be attempting to bust through some of my NetGalley queue this month. I know I won‘t get through all of these, but I‘ll be satisfied if I can get through the top two rows.
#AugustTBR #NetGalleyReviewathon
August stats! A great month, however, I wasn‘t great about ARCs. September goals are to get through my ARCs and post reviews on my blog.

Fave: A Discovery of Witches
I‘ve decided to go back to school this fall (why, I don‘t know...), and start back in September. I‘m trying to squeeze in a bunch of fun reading this month, so I‘m trying to get through as many of these as possible! I‘m currently finishing up Three Women and reading Preacher Vol 1. What do you recommend next?!
When you commit, it will happen.
A couple of days late but these are my reading plans for August. Usually August is my best reading month.
#BookishBingo for August
Looking forward to traveling with everyone again this month!! #letstravelaugust @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620
August books to be read. I‘m really bad at this but I have so many physical books I must unload before December. Vote for what I should read first. Help me #DissolveThePile vote in the comments please. Highest vote gets read first.
#August #TBR
These are my books for August. Some are for #BuddyReads and #GroupReads on #LibraryThing. Some are for my #CenturyofMysteryChallenge.
July is almost over and I am grateful for all of you who have been playing my #julycoldplay photo challenge. I love your photos and books and thoughts 💗💗💗
Here‘s my August challenge: #augustabc, a mixed/up file of alphabetical prompts. Enjoy!!
Day 1: #ReadingResolutions #AugustTBR
Another ambitious TBR pile for me. I'm still reading Children of Blood and Bone & Area X from July TBR. Ha! Well, let's see if this month's TBR is doable.
I realized when I put my TBR books on my side table, I'm more disciplined to read them. So hopefully, it'll work again for me this month! 😁
