Welcome to my August 2023 Wrap Up! I managed to read 11 books in August: 6 books/ebooks and 5 audiobooks. Some of these books have already been reviewed and others have reviews posting a little closer to their publication dates. A few may have been read in previous months but I was holding these reviews to a little closer to their publication date. The rest of these stats reflect the book reviews I published on the blog this month.

A month without a full five-star read is disappointing. Here’s to next month, right?

That’s okay ER. It’s rare that I rate a book at 5 stars and I’m not at all disappointed with my books read this month.

Sounds like you had a great bookish August! Impressive that they were all 4 and 4,5 star reads. I hope September will treat you well!

Thank you Yvonne!
Carla
Too bad you didn’t have any 5 star books in August, hopefully September will be better. It looks like you had a good month of reading overall and you are crushing your challenges. Happy September, Jodie.

Several of the books you rated at 4.5 are on my TBR, so that’s good to know for when I get to them. Looks like a good month! Hope September is going well so far!
