I finished 7 books in August. SEVEN! I don’t think I’ve ever finished that few books in a month. That’s being generous too. One was a short story and one was a graphic novel.
The books I read were:
- All fiction
- Â 1 audiobook
- Set in the U.S., England, France, and Mexico.
What were my favorites?

I have The Chocolate Maker’s Wife on my TBR, so I’m glad to read you really enjoyed it. I’ve been reading a few graphic novels too, my most recent was New Kid and my favorite was Pumpkinheads which was a wow read for me.
This summer has been a slow reading month for me as well! Good thing our books are patient. The Chocolate Maker’s WIfe cover is gorgeous.
Sorry for the slow reading month, but it looks like it’s been a good year overall!
You are really doing well on your round the world challenge. I loved the movie of Whale Rider (New Zealand). I remember taking our school classes to it. They clapped when the movie was over.
7 is still good though! Happy Septmeber!!
