I managed to read and review eleven books this month (a new record!), and overall it was a very good bunch. My top two books of the month were Whalefall and Delicate Condition, and Whalefall is my new favorite book of the year so far, it was that good. Please check out my review if you missed it. I’m trying to convince more people to read it! Here are the books I read this month, and you can click on the titles to read my reviews:
Whalefall by Daniel Kraus
Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine

What a great month, so many books and 3 5 star reads too 😀
Whalefall does sound really unique, and Thornhedge is one I’d love to read at some point.
Hope next month is just as good for you.

Thanks, so far September is looking really good:-)
Looks like you had a really good reading month. Three 5 star ratings is amazing! My favorite book of August was my reread of A Court of Silver Flames.
I can’t remember another month where I had three 5 star books, lol.
Wow, you had a great reading month! I managed to read only three books. I think the Buffy book was my favorite.
T. Kingfisher is one of my favorite writers and I want to read the Thornheadge.
I think you’ll love Thornhedge:-)
Looks like I missed quite a few of your reviews while I was gone. I read Mister Magic though and based on that rating, I think we feel the same way about it lol. Still need to get to Whalefall and Vampires of El Norte, that will be for September!
I can’t wait to see what you think of Whalefall:-)
I just posted my thoughts on Whalefall (short version – loved it!). Definitely one of my favorites of August. 🙂
I saw your review, and I’m so happy you loved it too:-)
Hey August isn’t over yet! lol I’ll finish at least one more book today and maybe 2. I’m well into both of them.

I hope you finished your books!
I read some great books this month but think Fantasticland was a favorite followed by the cozy dog trilogy I binged for the Dog Days of Summer Reading Challenge. You read quite a bit this month. I am already overwhelmed looking at the books I need/want to read in September.
September is totally out of control (so is October!) Good luck to both of us:-)
Congrats! 11 full reviews is very impressive.

It’s definitely impressive for me!
You had a great month!!
I can’t wait to read Thornhedge. I’m reading The Hollow Places right now and it’s amazing.
I loved The Hollow Places!
Thanks Stormi!
11/17 is pretty good!! Glad your month was good but… Both are still insane numbers though, haha—hopefully you have a more chill September!
September is crazier but I always read whatever I can and I try not to stress, lol.
You had a fantastic month. Whalefall does sound amazing and I will definitely buy a copy at some point.
Lynn 😀
I hope you get to read Whalefall, it’s such a crazy reading experience:-)
A lot of good horror books this August. Adding Whalefall to my tbr.
Have a great August reading month.

Thanks Freda, I hope you have a great month too:-)
I’ve seen Vampires of El Norte pop up so many times this past week, which is kind of funny because I hadn’t seen anything about it previously. Ah, the power of book blogging.
I’m amazed at how many books I find just through blog hopping:-)
I’d never heard of Whalefall till I started seeing it being reviewed on blogs, and it seems most people I’ve read their reviews liked it. You had some good books this past month and I’m so behind on reading reviews!
