August Wrap-Up!
I feel like I say this every single month, but can you even believe it is now September?! This year is flying by SO fast!
Overall, August was a pretty great month for me. Altogether, I read six books.

MISCELLANEOUS
Here’s August’s TTT’s:
This month’s WoW:
Movie Monday also came back this month! I shared my thoughts on the new Masterpiece Theater mini-series of Little Women!
I also shared the books I hoped to read for the #ClassicsAThon…As you can tell from the lack of classics in this wrap-up, however, I didn’t exactly reach my goals…😂🤦🏼♀️
I was part of the Tied to Deceit blog tour, too!
I also got to help reveal the cover for Sweet Dreams, book three in the Illusions Trilogy, by Nadette Rae Rodgers, as well as interview the author!
And that wraps up my August! I hope you all had a really great month, and an even better September!
Thanks for reading!

I’m so happy to see you liked The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo as well! And Starry Eyes wasn’t for me, but I’m glad you enjoyed it more than I did. 🙂 (Also, your blog header is so cute!)
Lovely wrap-up! 🙂 ❤

I can’t believe we’re in September either like I REALLY can’t believe it! This year has gone quickest out of any year yet! I didn’t read much in august tbh, I got through one book and 3/4 through another one. Luckily they were both very good! xxx

I agree! I really cannot believe how close we are to 2019. And these last few months always seem to fly by so fast!
Honestly, I think enjoying the book is much more important than how many books you were able to read anyway! ☺️

I’ve heard so many good things about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. You got through so many books last month, wow! I managed to get through 5 books last month. Can’t believe it is September already, although I am really glad since this month has so many great things to offer.

It was such a fun and summer-y book. Fair warning if you read it though, you will get SO hungry for ice cream! 😍😂
