My reading has been all over this month, largely interrupted by having surgery. But I’m recovering well and I’m back on it now! For the first week I just didn’t have the concentration to read, I only had a keyhole surgery but man, it was exhausting.
So in August I read:

- A Game of Retribution – Scarlett St Clair
- Queen Charlotte – Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes
- Crimson Peak Official Movie Novelisation – Nancy Holder
- House of Hunger – Alexis Henderson
- Fifty Minutes – Carla Jenkins
- The Road of Bones – Demi Winters
Ten books in total!
For September and onwards, these are on my TBR list:
- A Game of Gods – Scarlett St Clair

I really enjoyed Queen Charlotte and intend to make my way through the rest of the Bridgerton series too at some point, it’s become my guilty pleasure. (And my partner’s – he says he’s not watching but, a few episodes in he was hovering over my shoulder and asking questions about the plot. Y’all love the historical fiction sop really.)
Hope everyone’s had a great August and is ready to settle into Autumn like I am, I couldn’t be more ready for cooler temperatures (not that we had the warmest Summer, mind), long coats, horror films, and more gothic novels. I’m even buying myself a milk warmer so I can make my own spiced seasonal hot drinks. (Don’t make me say it… Yes I love a Pumpkin Spice latte!)
What’s everyone else looking forward to reading in the coming months? I’ve got quite a few books on pre-order coming out in September and October and I can’t wait to read them!
