In August I only managed to read five and half books. It wasn’t a great month for reading. I thought that I would have read more while I was away on holiday, but I didn’t really find the time. I am happy with the books that I did manage to read because they were all really good reads. Hopefully next month I can read a little bit more.
Books I read in August-
Because You Love To Hate Me Edited by Ameriie
This was my first time reading a collection of short stories, and on a whole I really enjoyed reading them. There are a few stories I wasn’t too keen on and there were some that I really loved and wished they were a longer story.
Because You Love To Hate Me Review
I rated this book 4/5 stars
One of Us is Lying by Karen M McManus
This is another book I really enjoyed reading. I managed to read the entire book in one day and only in a couple of sittings. I found the book to be really engaging and the it had me guessing until the end.
I rated this book 5/5 stars
The Shadow Sister by Lucinda Riley
I was really excited to start this because I love this series. It is completely different from what I normally read, but I really enjoy reading it. The story was interesting and was a perfect addition to the series, and as always the writing was tremendous.
Review coming soon
I rated this book 4/5 stars
House of Furies by Madeleine Roux
When reading the description for this book it definitely gave me the chills, and I was excited to start a book that would scare me a little. While I did find this book to have some creepy parts, I felt the story did fall slow in places, which was a shame.
Review coming soon
I rated this book 3/5 stars
Dividing Eden by Joelle Charbonneau
I didn’t know too much about this book before starting it, but I have to say that I throughly enjoyed reading it. I found the story to be really interesting and the characters were really well developed. I can’t wait to read the next instalment.
Review coming soon
I rated this book 5/5 stars
IT by Stephen King
Technically I haven’t finished this book yet, I am only just half way through it, but I wanted to include it on this months because I have read a good chunk of it. Hopefully I manage to finish this book next month, before seeing the film.
Review coming soon
I will rate this when finished.
