What are you reading in August?

[Staci, Book Awards Specialist]

As Beth enjoys her expanded family, I'll be helping out with this thread.

Please share your reading plans for August. Look forward to seeing what you have planned for the eight month of the year.

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

From this, I take it that Beth's baby has arrived? Congratulations to her and her 'expanded family'! (I love the way you phrased that!)

currently reading: Be a Woman of God Devotional: A 365 Day Devotional Dedicated To Women, I'll Be There

up next: Peace in the Valley, After the Shadows, Dear Canada: These Are My Words: The Residential School Diary of Violet Pesheens {GM YA}, A Novel Proposal
{GM YA}
planning on: The Amish Bride of Ice Mountain, Critical Threat, Deadly Competition, Wilderness Peril

hoping for: Love Finds You in Hershey, Pennsylvania, The Masquerade, Their Pretend Amish Courtship

There will also be a hidden gem as well as a TBD 'genre surprise' in there as well . . . a long list for me this coming month, so some of these titles may need to be held over to September.

Yes! Beth's bundle of joy arrived on July 15.

I really missed the boat last month and with a month remaining in our RV trip, my reading time is getting very scarce. So I'm going to keep my list even smaller and more realistic than last month. Only targeting the specific challenges I'm trying to finish this quarter and use September to get caught up with other challenges. There may also be a Hidden Gem and genre surprise in there too.

Yes ma’am, it is. And, the book is based on E. R. Braithwaite’s real life experience, which I never knew. I just thought it was all fiction until reading this.

I've been reading Katherine Blessan’s interesting new novel 'T for Tolerance'.

'It is a troubling hour in the United Kingdom as the clouds of a dark zeitgeist roll over the face of sun. This dystopian YA novel is set in 2040, after section 44, new laws making it illegal to ‘express a thought that could be deemed offensive to another group’, have been enacted...'

Looks interesting and maybe a little bit scary! It hits a bit close to home.

[Karen]

I've finished 5 from my original plan and also finished the following for either the Barnyard Breakout Quarterly Challenge or some other challenges: (8/1/23) (8/5/23) (8/6/23) (8/6/23) (8/16/23) (8/16/23) (8/16/23) (8/17/23)

I won't get to any of my other planned books - for the rest of the month I'm focused on the monthly challenge reading authors with vowels.
