Wow, did I ever have a bad run of books in August. I pretty much just hated most of what I read? I don’t even understand what happened, but it put me in such a reading slump. I ended up reading three or four books at the same time so I’d at least be able to make some progress. Audiobooks also saved me a little bit, because at least I can listen to those while doing other things.
Anyway, I’m happy to report that I only have a couple short ARCs left and I should be able to devote the majority of September to reading the many piles of books I’ve bought for myself.

How did August go for you? Did you read as much as you’d hoped?
Wow – you read all of those in August?! That’s incredible! I consider it a good month if I can do one a week…

As usual, that’s such a high number of books. Not a very high average rating this month for you though. I had a similar month. Couple books took me the longest, but weren’t really that great.
But I did read more than I hoped in August. Just didn’t blog as much.

I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed for a higher average rating in September. And I’m glad you had a good reading month!

Impressive number of books read! Sorry you haven’t had much luck with them. I just borrowed 3 print books from the library, and I’ve got 3 e-books on reserve. Seems unlikely I’ll get through them all in time but I couldn’t resist them!

Thanks! I had a bunch of ebooks from the library expire before I could get to them in August, so I can definitely relate to that feeling. I hope your library books are good! 🙂

I hope they’re good too! I don’t mind so much if the e-books expire – if I can’t renew them, I’ll just reserve again.
