I read 9 books in August: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

A new job, a new home, and a new favourite book

August was literally life-changing for me. I started a new job and moved house within weeks and my life has changed beyond recognition. With all these changes, my blog and bookstagram suffered from a bit of neglect. But now I’m (mostly) unpacked I can start to get back to ‘normal’! 

Despite everything going on in my personal life, I still managed to keep reading at the same old pace. I read on buses and trains… whenever I could. Which really helped me retain a sense of ‘normalcy’ amongst all the craziness.

Anyways, I could prattle on for ages, but instead let’s take a look at what I managed to read in August 2019. Including a new favourite!

I read 10 books in July: I Have A New Favourite Book

You know what they say about buses.

You wait and wait and then three come along at once.

This month, the same has happened with incredible books. June wasn’t lacking in great reads. I mean I read I read Daisy Jones & The Six and An American Marriage!
But I haven’t had a five star read in quite some time, and July delivered not one, but two! I was completely blown away by Dark Matter and it is now one of my favourite books I have ever read.
Then, the last book I read in July, The Heavens, came along and blew my mind all over again. I’m about to start the first book of August (Recursion) and so fingers crossed for a hat trick! 

Here’s the wrap-up of all the books I read in July…

City of Girls Review

Going in cold, other than the reassurances of Bookstagram that this was a book worth reading, I began reading City of Girls on the 2nd of July.

A whirlwind 3 days later and I turned the last page, knowing what I had read had been something truly special.

Read my full review of City of Girls.
