August Wrap-Up

Hello lovely readers! You may notice that this wrap up is a few days late. That would be because when I moved back to college I managed to leave my computer charger at home, so I was devoid of a computer for an entire week. Thankfully, classes haven’t started yet and my new charger came in today. But as you can imagine, this was very stressful for me. Now I only have school to be stressed about hahaha…

Thankfully, I have reading to escape to. I read a whopping 15 books in August, which is under my goal of 20 for the month, but still higher than my average of 11 or 12. I really read a variety of books this month, in terms of genre and ratings. I read five nonfiction books, five young adult books, and two literary fiction novels (I really can’t believe how much nonfiction I read!). I took a few book recommendations from my sister to read some fun YA mysteries, and listened to multiple amazing audiobooks. I read some absolutely amazing books like The Woman who Smashed Codes, The Anthropocene Reviewed, Clap When You Land, and Get a Life Chloe Brown. I also read some books I ended up really disliking, like The Man Ban, and Sarah’s Key. I will leave my list of all the books I read in August under the cut along with my ratings.
