August 2022
August was good. Sometimes busy and sometimes quiet but good. We hosted my daughter’s bridal shower at the beginning of the month. After a week of frantic packing, my younger daughter returned to college and we returned to having an empty nest. We also had some low-key weeks that were mainly spent at home.
Towards the end of the month, I was able to go to a bookish event when Megan Bannen came to my area to promote her new book – The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy. My reading was up quite a bit. I did choose some shorter books which makes a difference. I think I was so excited to have a couple of quiet weekends that I made a point to spend time doing things I wanted to do which meant curling up with a book. I am still plugging away on Instagram and am ending the month with 3,483 follwers.

How was your month? Do you have any reading or blogging goals for September?
I have the Sandra Brown on my shelf and I read Other Birds too. Thanks for sharing this
Between the bridal shower and the book event, it sounds like a good month! I read a book by Rush/Blount a few years ago that I really enjoyed. Hope Crossing the Line is a good one for you.
We had a few books in common, and I have Carrie Soto on deck. Low key and shorter books can be great sometimes. I still on the fence about Crossing the Line. Not sure I have the time in my schedule, but I might just buy it. Hope all your upcoming books are great, and isn’t the wedding soon?
You really had a great reading month considering how busy you have been.
Totally agree with the favourite of the month.
That a lot of books you read in August. Despite being busy.
Have a great September reading month.
Low key weeks are definitely good – especially with all you’ve got going on! You read so many great looking books in August. The Sarah Addison Allen is especially calling to me. Happy September!
Yay for having a good reading month. I haven’t been to an author event in quite awhile – fun!!!
I’m currently reading and really enjoying Love In the Time of Serial Killers.
