August Wrap-Up

[@BookishChas]

Sounds like August was pretty decent Jake. Words of Radiance is my favorite Stormlight book so far. Glad you’ve been enjoying your HP reread.

Bummer about Lightbringer, but I honestly can't say I am surprised hahah. I just finished a binge rewatch of all the Harry Potter movies because I was feeling so much fomo from seeing you all enjoying the books... but I think it kinda backfired and now I want to reread the books even more than before lol. Book 5 is absolutely my fave, up there with 3! Also, yay for the new Zoje Stage being such a hit for you. Keep that 5-star energy going!!

It's unfortunate you ended up DNFing The Burning White, but absolutely understandable - Brent Weeks really lost his way with that series towards the end. Sounds like overall you had a great month at least!

@@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels yeah…lol thanks

Great Wrap-Up! I enjoy Harry Potter, but certainly did not rave about the series as so many do. I would love to get my hands on the Martian Chronicles, love Ray Bradbury. Have heard great things about S A Cosby, while have to look out for his work in future. Congrats on 2K, that's awesome!

Thanks for sharing, Jake! In August I finished Salem's Lot which I think I gave 3.5 stars and now I'm a good way into Needful Things

[@BookishDrummer]

@@jenschoice_ nice! Hope you enjoy!

[@sasapejcin3568]

Needful things is weird and crazy but great book!

[@TheEmeraldSword86]

I didn't read a lot in August, but I got some done. Finished 'The Dead Zone' Read 'Bag of Bones' Read 'The Talisman' That's the list.

[@BookishDrummer]

@@TheEmeraldSword86 what did you think of the books you read?

[@TheEmeraldSword86]

@@BookishDrummer 'The Dead Zone' was pretty good. 'Bag of Bones' was weird, but I enjoyed it. I can understand why you don't like 'The Talisman', but I enjoyed it for how insane it was.

[@BookishDrummer]

@@TheEmeraldSword86 glad you enjoyed them!

[@Skrubybrother]

[@TheEmeraldSword86]

@@Skrubybrother I don't know what that means.

Meh… lol 🤣 sometimes that’s the only thing to say about a book 😝

[@FineReads]

My favorite part about the Martian chronicles were the names of the martians (one of the initial stories) 🤣 where the guy went from door to door “I’m from earth” and no one cares

[@FineReads]

Sooo… August were a bunch of DNFs and a bunch of 5 star reads? Sounds like one of your would you rather tag questions 🤣
