What I Read in August

Although August was a super busy month I managed to read 21 books. Actually, it was the busyness which helped reach this total, as several of this months reads were audio books – including The 10PM Question by Kate De Goldi, which had me sobbing as I drove. I love to listen to books as I drive, and with many hours spent travelling for Bookweek gigs, it was a perfect time to read some treasures I hadn’t previously read. I also managed to read three books in airports and on planes as I travelled to Brisbane and Townsville.

So, here’s my list for August. Would love to hear what you’ve been reading, or if you’ve read any of these. As always, if I’ve reviewed them, the link is to the review.
