August read-a-thon

Books finished:

[Karen]

Well, we are over halfway through the month. Do you have a book that you have read this month that you would recommend?

I really liked Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End, by Atul Gawande. I think it handles the subject matter very well.

I love Elin Hilderbrand books and this story is really good, in my opinion.
There's also a nice twist around the real life events of the time and the author and her twin brother being born.

I'm also currently reading "Tell Me How You Really Feel." I'm enjoying it so far; how are you liking it?

[Karen]

Hi everyone, we have a week left! It has been a very relaxing reading month for me, and I hope it has been for you.

Hi Karen,

Thank you for this month, and the previous months you've been running a month long RAT!

[Leticia]

Are you doing another monthly for September? If not I could post it too,

[Karen]

Leticia, that would be great if you could set it up for September. I will be out the end of September, beginning of October.
