It's freaking August already! Of 2021. Life I know how summer usually means a busy time for most people. It wasn't so much for me - my kids are still too little and we had some fun this summer but didn't brave outside a whole lot (maybe next year). And still, I am ready for summer to end. For one thing, stuff does slow down a little during rest of the year, and by stuff, I mean work mostly. And on the other hand, I'm ready for real school to start, so that I don't feel bad that my kids are wasting their brains, LOL. I got to catchup with life this week and that means a great deal. There were a million things eating my brain all the time, distracting me from other things, so it was good to check off a bunch of things from my list.

Still, I read some great titles this month and April is bringing more new titles that I've been looking forward to!

Traveling with my books this year
One thing I always look forward to with these monthly review posts, is where I've been to this month. While I'd much rather go there physically, some times books can be a welcome travel tool too! I still have two continents I haven't visited at all - Africa and Australia.

Happy Reading!
Looking back over this month, you're definitely responsible for adding three books to my tbr list: Slow Death by Rubber Duck, 13 rue Therese, and The Good Daughter. I hope I can return the favor this month! :-)
