Hello, friends, and happy September! Fall is definitely on the way, but before I settle in with autumnal reading, here's a quick wrap-up of my August books.
August was a good reading month for me. I only read four books, but they were all winners. Two were backlist titles from favorite authors, one was a classic reread (a long annotated edition this time) and I enjoyed one popular new release.
