End Of August Thoughts:
I read 22 books this month at the end of August. Stats for that were 5 Audiobooks, 11 print books, and six ebooks, making my total for the year 157. I have several books on my list to get through in September. I recently joined an arc review group on Facebook and signed up for a few. The review copies are coming, and I am slowly working through them. I also signed up for several traveling books in a Facebook group where a book gets mailed out, and you write your thoughts, highlight, etc, and then mail it to the next person. Right now, I have it at the Curiosities and Fireborne coffee shop that I need to read and send to the next person. I am still working on reading through the interconnected Jennifer L. Armentrout series, and I am on the final crave book, so I read the new book that Tracy released. I had skipped out on requesting review books from Young Adult Book Central last month but did request quite a few for the haul this coming month, so we’ll see how many of those I get in the mail here soon. So, in September, I will have a few indie reviews for the Arc Review Group, Traveling Book Reviews, and Reviews for whatever I get from Young Adult Book Central. The weather is still warm here, but hopefully, it will start to cool down, and maybe we get some fall before the bitter cold arrives. I hope you had a good month. Here to Fall Reading.

That’s a high number of books this month. You choose to source your books in interesting ways according to your interests which is cool. I do kind of a similar decision process with different sources.
Awesome number of books read for the month! My reading was down thanks to school being back in session. Hope you have a good week!
