Due to my summer vacation, I never got around to posting my books for August, so instead you get two months for the price of one!!
Plus an additional read from July, as I couldn't post the review back then ;-) I had the pleasure of being offered the chance to do an alpha read of a book written by a friend of mine, and absolutely LOVED it! It was published last month, so I can finally write about it!!!
A Home in Percival - Paula K. Berman, 4/5, 285 pages
A really sweet and charming story about finding friends and getting settled in a new place :) I love love love descriptions of setting a house to rights and making it your own, so this was right up my aisle.
This is cozy fantasy at its best. No real conflicts, no real crises - just people being people. It is definitely character-driven rather than plot-driven, but as long as I like the characters, that's never bothered me :-D
And at the end of the day I picked up the book at every opportunity I got, and feel almost book hungover now that I've finished. I will definitely need a physical copy of it at some point.
( 6 Books for August )
( 4 Books for September )
Books Read: 64
Pages Read: 11,859

Book of the Month: The Enchanted Greenhouse - such a delightful read!
Biggest Disappointment: Probably A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking. It wasn't bad - I had just expected better.
