What I read in August 2024

August has been a busy reading month for me, I joined my local library to get mostly audiobooks easily but I'm reading a few ebooks too (not loving it on my phone though). I also joined Kindle Unlimited. I ummed and ahhed for a few days, but it has so many genres I love (especially urban fantasy) that I decided to try it and so far it's working really well. It's similar price to if I wanted to go use my local library with family taking me so it makes sense for me. Let's see what I've read! 

 The Summer I Saved the Wild by Rachel Faturoti, Children's, Middle Grade, very good
It was a bit too much save the planet for me but the overall tale was enjoyable. Review here
 

 Vern and Lettuce by Sarah McIntyre, Children's, Graphic novel, 7 years +, excellent
A hilarious animal friendship duo have a lot of fun together. Review here.

 

 Pirate Academy by Justin Somper, Children's, Middle Grade, reread, excellent
Book 2 is more exciting and drama filled than book 1 in this sea adventure series. Review here.

 

 A Gift of Grace by Amy Cliptson, Audiobook, Amish romance, relisten, excellent
First in a beautiful Amish bakery series that I relisten to at least twice a year 

 

A Promise of Hope by Amy Clipston, Audiobook, Amish romance, relisten, excellent
The focus on God and family is always interesting



 A Place of Peace by Amy Clipston, Audiobook, Amish romance, relisten, excellent
A true comfort read

 

 Meet Me At Wisteria Cottage by Teresa F Morgan, Romance, reread, excellent
Maddy has a cat, and together they find shelter in their initially unpleasant neighbour's life due to a fire that was not an accident.

 Heart's Sentinel by P J Schnyder, Romance, Reread, excellent
This shapeshifter tale is heartwarming as MacKenzie learns to be both cat and human. Review here

 

Vox by Christine Dulcher, Dystopian, Thriller, very good
Scary future where in America women's voices are reduced to just 100 words, jobs aren't allowed and much worse in this thriller.

 

 The Girl in Seat 2B by Diana Wilkinson, Thriller, very good
Lots of fake living in this tale

 

 Raz Beri by Matt Stephens, Children's, Middle Grade, excellent,
Life in a wheelchair isn't easy but Billy learns to stand up for himself. Review here



 Touch and Feel: Farm by Spring Street, Children's, Board Book, Picture book, very good
Several animals have various parts in soft material for young ones to investigate. Review here.

 

 Are You Small? by Mo Willems, Children's, Picture book, Non-fiction, excellent
Many small things are investigated in this book. Review here.



 Contest by Matthew Reilly, Audiobook, relisten, excellent
The 1st book by the now award winning thriller author, a father and daughter end up in an alien competition to the death



 Sara's Dream Role by Holly Webb, Children's, Middle Grade, excellent
Being at drama school with a drama resistant family is hard on Sara. 

 

 Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, Classic literature, very good
Finally a Jane Austen I understood mostly, but didn't like the end as the character I liked, Elinor, didn't end up with who I wanted. This wasn't the edition I had but I love the cover.



 Three Mages and a Margarita by Annette Marie, Urban Fantasy, excellent
A new to me series which is so addictive, has a good balance of drama and humour (a cover I don't like)

 
Dark Arts and a Daiquiri
by Annette Marie, Urban Fantasy, excellent
2nd in the compelling series that I can't stop reading (cover is so-so)



 Two Witches and a Whiskey by Annette Marie, Urban Fantasy, excellent
Life is a bit darker for Tori, but she has the best sidekicks and friends



 Demon Magic and a Martini by Annette Marie, Urban Fantasy, excellent
Tori continues to lead a magic filled life, much to her brother's disgust. 

 

 The Alchemist and an Amaretto by Annette Marie, Urban Fantasy, excellent
So much major drama in this installment I was taken by surprise a lot.
