August 2021 - Reading Recap


Books Read This Month
:  23 - Not as good as last month but still not bad - especially since I felt like I was in a bit of a slump in the middle of the month.

Category Breakdown:

Mystery: 17

Fiction: 2

Nonfiction: 4

Print Books: 8

EBooks: 6

Audio Books: 9

Favorite Books of the Month:


Death in Castle Dark by Veronica Bond
- This cozy mystery about a dinner theater was SO much fun and I can't wait to see how the series develops

The Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes - At the very beginning I was a bit worried this book wasn't going to be for me but it grew on me until I was finding excuses to listen to it.  The audio especially was fantastic.

Least Favorite Book of the Month:


A Sprinkling of Murder by Daryl Wood Gerber - This wasn't bad but I wanted to really love it.  Unfortunately the characters investigated mostly by bickering which got a bit old though I did really enjoy the last quarter or so of the book.

How was your reading in August?

  1. I read six books in August. I had that one book which was a chore for me to read and I kept putting off picking it back up, ha ha. 😄

  2. I don't know why but I've never kept track of how many books I read every month. I do know my reading has been down for quite a while. Don't think I'd have liked the bickering either.

  6. Wow that sure is a fantastic number. I think Shonda Rhimes narrating the book really brought it alive and I liked the inserts from actual addresses. She is a person who seems to live fully.

  7. It looks like you had a great reading month, Katherine. I have the audio of The Year of Yes--but seeing as I haven't picked up an audiobook in over a year I am not sure when I will get to it. I am glad you enjoyed it. Death in Castle Dark sounds good and I am glad you enjoyed it! I hope you have a great September!
