Monthly Recap: August 2015!
Monthly Recap!
AUGUST
Where did the time go? It's already SEPTEMBER? Crazy! I don't mind though for two big reasons: 1) It's football time in Tennessee! 2) Fall is coming!
My reading has been down this month because school has started back up and it always takes me a bit to get back in the groove after being off for so long. I have some pretty great classes this year... and I have one awful one. I'm trying not to get discouraged by the one bad seed, but... it's hard.
I feel like I've been trying to get my blogging mojo back on track for so long now and it doesn't seem to be working. So, Tonya and I decided to come up with a reading/blogging schedule for the week to help streamline us. I felt it worked pretty well this first week!
Sadly, I had no 5 star reads this month! I had some that came super close though!
Out of all of the books I've read this month, I'd have to say my favorite has been Graceling by Kristin Cashore. I am in such a fantasy mood lately and I adored getting back to the Graceling Realm, especially after loving Fire!

I cannot wait for my pre-order of QoS to come in! I didn't read much either but I had no school this month at all! Awesome post :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a fun time now that school's started up again. The Assassin's Blade broke my heart, and I'm so nervous about Queen of Shadows :D (And excited, but mostly nervous).

Graceling is aweomse! I also love Right Wrong Guy and Make Me. Shadowland was interesting. I am really curious about that Emma Chase series.
ReplyDeleteI hope classes go smoothly for you this semester! I didn't have any five star reads this month either, but Walk on Earth a Stranger is definitely somewhere in my top 5 for the year!
ReplyDeleteQUEEN OF SHADOWS ARRIVES TOMORROW!!! OMG OMG OMG! I'm going to have to hide from the internet until I can curl up with it over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am so happy you loved Graceling! That book is amazing.
Hehe, I love the ending with Queen of Shadows. I FINALLY last week got The Assassin's Blade, so I will FINALLY be starting the series ASAP!! :D Great job reading 16 books too!! I think that's how many I read as well, I can't really remember. Oops. LOL Happy Monday! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a blogging schedule that I use too, on Google drive, and I love it. It definitely helps me stay organized and focused. I hope yours and Tonya's is a success!
ReplyDeleteI read Sustained last night and LOVED it. Can't wait for Brent's book! And I'm super excited for Forever with You and Fated too. :)
Happy reading, boo!
I think a lot of us are suffering from that end of summer slump - hopefully we'll fall into new schedules and it will all sort itself out soon!

ReplyDeleteahem. beside that, I'm so glad you loved Graceling! :) I'm in search of another epic fantasy that will fill this hole in my heart.
Yay for fall and FOOTBALL! :) :)
Leave me some comment love! And I will get around to commenting back!
My blog is an award-free blog, however, as I just do not have the time to follow-up.
