The summer is more than half-way done. July has been a very busy month for me and August is promising to be even more so. I can only hope I'll find time to read. I do have some motivation since I received a new Kindle cover with a light for my device and I haven't had a chance to use it yet.
I ended up finishing a reasonable number of books in July:
I ended up finishing a reasonable number of books in July:
- A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
- Rose of Fire by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
- The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
- Heartless by Gail Carriger
- The Prisoner of Heaven by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
My favorite read was The History of Love with A Short History of Nearly Everything surprisingly coming in as a close second. Zafon's short story and the newly published novel definitely take the prize for being most disappointing reads of the month.
I am now left with some heavier books to read in August, so we'll see how it goes. Adieu!
Whoa!!!! Yeah! I feel like I've done something right when I recommend a book that other people like and which stands up to their own criticism and other reading.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about the 'big book' thing. I was scanning my shelves last night for something that wasn't massive to avail.
