Here's my August wrap-up! Some of these are actually going to be part of my September TBR because I didn't finish: A Gathering of Shadows, My Lady Jane, and City of Lost Souls. I thought I'd finish them at the time I took the picture! 😁 I'm really enjoying them though! . Not picture because they were library books: Shadows of Self and The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson (Can't wait for the next book!) and Saga volume 1 (graphic novel). . Nine books finished this month! Yay! . I enjoyed so many books. Winter was amazing! AGOS and MLJ are so good too! I'm close to finishing and I think these might also be my favorites of the month too. . How'd you guys do? . Thanks to everyone who participated in the flash giveaway on Wednesday. I'll announce the winner by Saturday! (First week back to school for my older kids and it's been hectic adjusting to a school schedule. We're still on summer vacation mode. 😩😔) .

Here is my August wrap up!! It's been a crazy month so I only read 8 books and I'm finishing up Ivory and Bone 😊• • I was thrilled that I binge read The Lunar Chronicles and AEITA series! They were both AMAZING and made it a great month!! 📚• • 🔹#lilbookishaugust #anembertorchchallenge #swoonyfictionaugust #augustofpages August Wrap Up!! 🔹• • #thelunarchronicles #anemberintheashes #monthlywrapup

💭 What was your favorite August read? . I can not believe August is over 😱 But it's also about to be my FAVORITE season...FALL 🍂 So I'm really glad for that! . Anyways time for my #AugustWrapUp 📚 • He Will Be My Ruin: 5 ⭐️'s • Little Black Dress, Little White Lies: 4 ⭐️s • Ever the Hunted: DNF • A Week of Mondays: 5 ⭐️s • The Lost & Found: 2 ⭐️s • Poppy: DNF • The Graces: DNF • Frazzled: 5 ⭐️s • Vicarious: 5 ⭐️s • Never Ever: DNF . I'm also halfway through the Illuminae audio, which is a re-read for me! The audio is AMAZING! I'm still reading Scarlet, I'm enjoying it but I think I've just not been in the mood for it. I'm also halfway through The Young Elites, which I'm currently obsessing over!! . Also, take my DNFs with a grain of salt most of the time. If I don't feel a book is going to be a 4 or 5 star for me, I DNF. I only care to spend time in books I LOVE. I had that one 2 star because it was a 4 then the ending royally pissed me off 😑 . All the books I rated high, I seriously urge you to pick them up! They were seriously all AMAZING for different reasons! . . #challengebookamajig #lilbookishaugust #bookboyfriendaug #backtobooksaugust #augustofpages #livelaughbooksaugust #serialtalesinaugust #bookishaugustbr #tdhbeyourbestaug16 #monthlywrapup

As mentioned in a previous post, I’m a big Jane Austen fan. Pride and Prejudice is my all time favorite book. After I read it, I wanted to read more about Elizabeth and Darcy and the what-ifs. Thank the book goddess for fanfic! I used to be an avid fanfic reader and writer (a million years ago), so it’s fun to see Jane Austen and/Pride and Prejudice inspired stories out in the wild. . These were all impulse/cover buys! I’ve gotten a lot better at not impulse buying books, but it’s really hard to resist used books sales! At 75 cents to $2, I can’t say no to a continuation of Darcy and Elizabeth’s story. Also, the covers are gorgeous! . I’ve only had a chance to read Me and Mr. Darcy (cute and fun). I don’t like judging books by their covers, so I’m pretty open to trying out anything! I’m eager to get to Pemberley Ranch. Here’s the summary from Goodreads: . When the smoke has cleared from the battlefields and the civil war has finally ended, fervent Union supporter Beth Bennet reluctantly moves with her family from their home in Meryton, Ohio, to the windswept plains of Rosings, Texas. Handsome, haughty Will Darcy, a Confederate officer back from the war, owns half the land around Rosings, and his even haughtier cousin, Cate Burroughs, owns the other half. . In a town as small as Rosings, Beth and Will inevitably cross paths. But as Will becomes enchanted with the fiery Yankee, Beth won't allow herself to warm to the man who represents the one thing she hates most: the army that killed her only brother. But when carpetbagger George Whitehead arrives in Rosings, all that Beth thought to be true is turned on its head, and the only man who can save her home is the one she swore she'd never trust… . RIGHT?! . Now fess up! What are some of your impulse buys? Were there any books that you misjudged because of its cover? . Also, my washi tape flash giveaway is today! Check for the original post to enter. It closes at midnight PST! . Challenges: #livelaughbooksaugust Don’t judge a book by its cover #augustofpages Impulse buys

....I think maybe I have an obsession 😳.... . This is my August #bookhaul 🙈 I bought a bit, got some tour books, and got quite a few unsolicited packages. But I will say there isn't a title there that I'm not excited for...now I just need the time to read them all 😁 . Thank you to everyone who commented and messaged me yesterday to check on me! I'm feeling a tad bit better today 🙃 . . #challengebookamajig #bookboyfriendaug #augustofpages #livelaughbooksaugust #serialtalesinaugust #bookishaugustbr #tdhbeyourbestaug16 #bookstack #stackofbooks #tbr #bookmail

Tutti i miei piani di recuperare le letture arretrate sono stati inutili, alla fine ho letto solo cinque libri di cui due nuovi nuovi...soliti casini da lettrice! ><" #augustwrapup #augustofpages #bookstagram

Con la fine del mese è arrivato il momento di tirare le somme e direi che i nuovi arrivati nella mia libreria sono uno più bello dell'altro..non vedo l'ora di averli letti tutti! ^^ #bookhaul #augustofpages #bookstagram

August has come and gone and I read a pile of books. #arcaugust and #readthemallthon took up a majority of my time and it was an excellent reading month! • • • Day 31 of #augustofpages • August Wrap-Up • • #books #bookstagram #bookish #booklove #bookblogger
