My Month In Books… August 2026
It’s SEPTEMBER! I can’t lie, I am excited. I love the autumn and winter months more than any time of the year, so I can’t wait for the cold weather to hit so I can cosy up in a blanket and read! I didn’t have quite as good of a reading month as I’d hoped in August, but I did manage to get through a few ARCs. So without further adieu, here is my month in books for August!
