August: Read. Read. Read.

August was a good reading month. A month filled with laughter and swoons, heartache and tears. I made new fictional friends and revisited some old ones too. I embarked on epic adventures and wrongs were made right.

What books did I read? I'm so glad you asked!

Here’s a list* of my August reads:

A Conjuring of Light
goodreads

A Conjuring of Light is the last book in V. E. Schwab's

A Darker Shade of Magic series.

And holy hell.

Talk about a wild ride.

Lila Bard is possibly the most infuriating character

I have ever fallen in love with.

And don't even get me started on Holland.

If you're looking for an epic fantasy adventure

pick up A Darker Shade of Magic right meow.

Thank me later.

An Enchantment of Ravens
goodreads

June's OwlCrate book was

Sorcery of Thorns.

Which I adored.

Upon finishing the book,

I decided I had to read Margaret Rogerson's debut novel

An Enchantment of Ravens.

And I'm oh so glad I did.

A quick, romantic read An Enchantment of Ravens

is a fun take on faerie lore.

The Hazel Wood
goodreads

Good gravy!

I don't even know where to begin with this book.

Dark and (at times) terrifying,

this fast-paced read had me hooked from page one.

And now I am DYING to read the sequel.

CAN IT PLEASE BE OUT NOW?!

I NEED TO KNOW THINGS.

Spin the Dawn

goodreads

OwlCrate's July book was Spin the Dawn.

(Yes, it is possible I am obsessed with OwlCrate.)

Boasting a gorgeous cover,

Elizabeth Lim offers a romantic, imaginative world

filled with magic and adventure.

Maia's journey to prove herself and provide for her family

is endearing and heart-warming.

I am looking forward to reading the sequel next summer.

The Darkest Part of the Forest

goodreads

It's just a fact:
I am becoming a diehard fan of Holly Black.

The Darkest Part of the Forest is

my fourth Holly Black book to date.

A standalone faerie novel,

I have already reread parts of this story.
Multiple times.

And I might just have to reread
a little more right about now.

Sorry. Not. Sorry.

In summation: this month was a great reading month. And I’m already looking forward to rereading all these lovely books and the books I plan on reading next month.**

How was your reading month?
Read anything awesome?!
I would love to hear about it!

*side note: I limited this list to the books I counted toward my GoodReads goal. I reread a *few* books, but did not count them toward my goal. I pick up random books, reread them, then forget to add them to my reading goal constantly.

**another side note: How in the world is next month September?!
