I meant to post this last week but alas, work became busy and I didn’t want to do anything when I came home but become a couch potato. π
I think August was a pretty good month in terms of reading. The book haul wasn’t too bad either! And yes, I did actually buy books this month, lol!

This month I finally decided to reread Iron Gold and The Gilded Wolves. I realized that I remembered not a lot about IG, and since I haven’t read Dark Age, I wanted to go in with the events fresh on my mind. Same for TGW. I recently finish the physical ARC I had of its sequel, The Silvered Serpents, and boy, oh boy, do I have some thoughts. Hopefully that review will be posted next week, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out! π
My most disappointing read for August was The Betrothed. I think I expected so much more, but so much of it fell flat. π¦ The Year of the Witching was a lovely surprise, dark and spooky yet hopeful.
Also, what do you know, we have a book haul this month!
I borrowed I’ll Be the One from the library and really enjoyed it, and of course I have to support Korean-American authors! I read an eARC of Incendiary and instantly fell in love with it, so I’m so excited to finally have a finished copy!
Star Daughter came in a book box, and I’m over the moon excited to read that from the cover alone. A finished copy of Vicious Spirits was kindly send to me by the publisher, so a special shout out to PenguinTeen for doing so!
How was August for you? I hope you read some enjoyable books, and feel free to let me know your favorite one in the comments!

I’m SO glad you enjoyed You Had Me at Hola, I plan to read it this month and I’m EXCITED!! & I hope you enjoy all your new books β€οΈβ€οΈβ¨
