A slightly early wrap-up this month. I know I won’t finish another book before the month is out so I thought why not post it already. I had a couple of amazing 5 star reads this month and I’m really happy about those. Not a bad way to end August with.

Other than the DNF, it looks like you had a great reading month! Hooray for so many 5-star reads!
Yes, I’m pretty happy about most of them! 😀
Looks like a really good month! I haven’t really looked at what I read this month but I’ll be doing a combo September reads/August wrap up next week?
I’m looking forward to that post, Tammy! ?
I’m hoping to finish one more book this month. I’m happy you had some great reads! 🙂
I hope it’ll be a great read for you! 🙂
A few of those I want to read. You did great though! Happy September!
Which ones? And thank you! 😀
Looks like you had a great reading month! I also loved Serpent and Dove and I’be been meaning to listen to The Bear and the Nightingale on audio as well 🙂 Also, the Katee Roberts series has been on my TBR for a while, so glad to hear you enjoyed this installment as well! Now I just need to start it haha 🙂
Fab selection of books!
Wow, you look to have had a great reading month! There’s a couple on there that are on my TBR too.

Looks like a good moth for you! I’m particularly intrigued by Blood Water Paint which sounds fantastic! Great post ??
I had a really good reading month too. I couple of books on your list we have featured (my reviewer MK read them).
That’s a really great reading month!
You have had a good month with you books, hope September is the same for you.
I’m so glad you had a great reading month! I read 14 books in August and likewise had a few 5★ reads but my favourites are probably The Night Swim and Dear Justyce. They were both sooo good!
I so loved Serpent and Dove too Stephanie! You had a good month!
You have such a great variety of books on this list! I love it when I find a few books that are solid 5 stars reads. It motivates me to get so much more reading done. You have me intrigued about Serpent & Dove. I hope that September is good to you as well. 🙂
Nice genre variety for August! My favorite book of August was Today Tonight Tomorrow (contemporary YA) closely followed by Rebel Spy (historical YA fiction). I also read a few graphic novels and picture books that I really enjoyed.
