Another fabulous month! Woo Hoo!Â
You can see my reviews by clicking on the links. Most of the books I read in the latter part of the month will be reviewed in the near future.Â
I’m so ready for September. Bring it on!
How was your month? I hope it was grand!Â

Looking forward to your review of number 11 and 16. You had a good month, like always!! I read max 4 books a month *hides face*I hope that in September you will read only 4 too 😉 and maybe Les Mis will help with that 😉 You can tackle The Count of Monte Cristo while you're at it (reading lenghty books)

You did awesome this past month! Good for you! 🙂 August was a pretty stellar month for me — not sure if I can replicate that in September, but I will try! Have a good day!

Too many people read ZERO books a month so I think 4 is fab 🙂 I've been wanting to tackle Monte Cristo, oh and Don Quixote too! One day 🙂

Congratulations on a great August! Interesting list. My August was only so-so in terms of reading (I just wasn't a huge fan of anything I read). I'm hoping September will be better! I'm reading mostly non-fiction this week (What Makes a Hero? and The Book of Immortality).
