What are you reading in August?

[Joy]

Stayed up way too late listening to Terri Blackstock's Distortion. Now I'm thinking I need to wait a few days before starting the last book or I'm gonna be a mess!

My focus for August was continuing series I had already started. I managed to stick with that which was great. I finished four series and continued two others.

[Aerykah]

I had absolutely no reading plan for August (okay, let's be honest-- I never have a reading plan :P ) and I honestly didn't think I would get that much reading time in..... but I finished my 14th book last night!

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Staci, I'm impressed! I typically get sidetracked with series because other really intriguing books come out that I just HAVE to read now. Lol. Great job!

(not CF)

I'm amazed at how many of you managed to finish lots of books! Well done, ladies! :)

[Aerykah]

Andrea wrote: "*low whistle* Wow! Great job, Aerykah!"

Thanks, Andrea! :)

[Joy]

Well I didn't read anything by last month's featured author, but I did read a lot of other books. :)

[Elizabeth]

I did not get near as much as I wanted read but I did finish and . I'm 3/4 of the way through which I'll finish this weekend. So absolutely no CF reads this month =o but I did get some bigger sci-fi and fantasy out of the TBR pile.

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Nice job, Elizabeth. Did you enjoy your trek through Jurassic Park?

[Elizabeth]

I did! Jurassic was as good as I remembered and I thought The Lost World was pretty close to being as good. It was fun seeing a couple things they actually used for Jurassic World.

[Anne]

Thanks Andrea!! I hope September will be a good reading month too, though I know I'll get pretty busy with school and probably won't have much time. :P We'll see!

Thank you! :)
My children love books but neither can read yet. Really helps me to read more and more each month.

Really? That's neat! Now I'll have to track down a copy of The Lost World. :) So glad you enjoyed them.

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Anne, that is the conundrum, isn't it? Maybe you can reserve 30 minutes at night for reading or something. Best wishes for squeezing in some fun books!

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Courtney, that's wonderful that you're fostering a love of reading in your children while they're so young. So proud of you!

Thank you, sometimes it can be tough but then I remember what my parents/grandparents did for me; it makes it all worth it.
