Confessions of a Literary Addict

Okay, this one is late simply because I was too lazy to put it together! 😀

I read 23 books in August (and, yes, a few of them were mostly just me finishing up a book I read mostly in July, it just happened to line up that way), and a lot of them, uh. Were not to my liking, but what else is new? Some of them I liked a LOT, though, so it balanced it out for me! (I’m just hard to please, what can I say!)

Onto the books!

Oof, that was kind of a mess, huh. At least I read three of my 22 in 2022 books! I’m really running out of time there, I need to pick up the pace.

We’re almost halfway through September as I’m writing this (oops!), but I think I’ll try to knock out The Darkest Minds next. I’ve heard such good things about it, I want to see what the hype is about.

Until next month! Thanks for reading!
