Happy Monday bookish people! I hope you’re all having a good day today. It is the end of August already and time to talk about what I read this month.

I will tell you that I shocked myself with how well my reading went this month, what with a trip to London and back I got a lot of reading in.

Helle and Death by Oskar Jenson – I did read this book, a review is coming on the 20th September

Love Letters to a Serial Killer by Tasha – I did read this. It wasn’t how I thought it would be and I will say that it wasn’t an enjoyable read for me, not like I had expected it to be at least.

The Troublemakers by Tamzin Merchant – I did read this

The Dogsitter Detective by Anthony Johnston – I did read this

Seven Lively Suspects by Katy Watson – I did read this

A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid – As of the 21st August when I am writing this post I am currently reading this book and I should get it finished by the end of the month

Lightlark by Alex Aster – I started this book but I have DNF’d it for now because the part I read, the writing wasn’t working for me at the time and I am hoping to try and read it again at a later date.

So, for the first time since I started this blog I have completed a TBR and I’m quite proud of that. Not all of the books I read this month were ones I enjoyed but some of them I did which made it a successful month in my opinion.

How was your reading this month? Let me know in the comments!

Happy Monday bookish people! I hope you’re all having a good day today. It is August already, finally some of the summer weather is peeking out from behind the rain clouds. My Guide Dog is very happy about that, she loves sunbathing in the garden. What goes best with the summer? Reading, obviously. So it was time to decide on my August TBR and it was difficult because I have so many books that I want to read, but I did decide eventually on these books:

The Dog Sitter Detective by Anthony Johnston

The odd thing about this one is that I have already read the second book in this series (oops!) I didn’t realise when I got the second book that it was part of a series, read it, loved it and then realised it was a series so I want to read this one quite quickly.

Love Letters To A Serial Killer by Tasha Coryell

I have recently bought this and the premise sounds really interesting so it is high on my list to read.

A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid

This is another book I recently got after wanting it for a really long time and I haven’t been reading much fantasy at the moment so I am hoping to get back into it with this book.

Helle and Death by Oskar Jenson

This book is one I need to read so that I can mention it in my PhD theory work, I don’t think it would be a book I would pick up otherwise but hopefully it will be a good book.

The Troublemakers by Tamsin Merchant

I LOVE this series, it is a middle grade but the series is very sweet and magical and I am excited to read this next book.

Lightlark by Alex Aster

This one I happened to pick up because I saw it on social media a lot and thought it looked interesting, I like books that include games and trials so hopefully this book will be great.

Seven Lively Suspects by Katy watson

I have actually already started this book, I read 50 pages on the way home from a family trip and I already love this series so I am looking forward to keep reading this book.

Have you read any of these books?

What books are on your August TBR?

I hope everyone has a good reading month in August!
