- What was my favorite book? I read four five star books in August. The first was a book of poetry by a member of our church, Poetry by Martha Casey. I read Genesis: The Beginners Guide to the Beginning. I also re-read of a Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas and The Fall Risk by Abby Jimenez.
What was my least favorite book? None of the books I read were bad, per se, but I did have two three star books this month. I read Buried Deep by Naomi Novak. This is an anthology of short stories. I liked the stories, but the movement from one story to the next was jarring. Just as I would get settled in the world of the story, we would move on to another story, requiring that "stepping into a new world" challenge. I read Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. it was fine, but I've always heard that it takes a few books for this series to "take off;" I think they are correct. Hoping the next few books are better.
Any surprises? The Egg and Other Stories by Andy Weir had several surprises in it!
Trends? Out of 13 books, I read 5 of them as a combination of types of books, such as audiobook and print, or audiobook and kindle. I do that sometimes, but I seem to be doing it more often lately.
How am I coming with my reading goals? I read 13 books, 85% of which were new to me. I'm up to 87 for the year so far.
