August Recap

Hey, ladies!


I cannot believe we're already in September. I say this every month, but this year is flying by so fast!

August was my best reading month this year, by far and away. It more than made up for the measly 6 books that happened in July, and I even added three books to my Best of 2016 list. It was also a good time for audibooks, with a total of 106 hours of listening time.

All The Feels

Someone Stab Him

The Pleasant Surprise

I was not expecting to like this one at all, but wound up loving it!

The Big Disappointment

I'm sorry, but I just did not like this book. My initial thoughts were much more positive than how I feel now, because as time went on, I disliked the book more and more. I did not like Lily or her reasonings, and as someone who's experienced similar situations, I feel I'm in a good position to say that. I despised Ryle, and the excuses made for him.
Atlas was the book's saving grace.

Even if I stand by my wish that the series had been kept to the original 5, I will always love Barrons.
