This is a different kind of post....and it's a Tuesday morning. What gives? Well I thought it might be fun to do a recap of my month in reading and reviewing and have decided to do a kind of wrap up of the month and how I felt generally about August 2020.

August has been kind to us. We are still in the grip of the Coronavirus epidemic and for us, we are still being super careful. I am still loving my running and we have loved watching the inspirational 'The World's Toughest Race' on Netflix. Seriously, please do check this out, the stories are amazing. I have also read 9 books this month and 4 of them were 5 star reads. So let's dive in shall we?

Big Read Challenge

This month I read 3 more on the Big Read Challenge List. And I have now read 6 out of the 100 titles in total. This does remain a work in progress, but I am loving re-visiting some great novels.

Good Reads Challenge

Did you know I am on Good Reads? You can check out my profile here. I have set myself a challenge of reading 100 books this year. I am at 47 books read so far and am apparently 19 books behind schedule. eek! I am taking a very relaxed approach to this challenge, if I don't manage it, I won't stress.

To Be Read

Oh dear God, I daren't tell you how many books are on my To be Read pile. There are books everywhere, on the kindle, in my book drawer and I've even had to start a new pile on my blanket box. There are just too many good books around.

Looking forward To.....

I can almost smell the Autumn in the air, it's distinctly cooler and I am noticing acorns absolutely everywhere. I am looking forward to running in Autumn, especially on a crisp morning. I'm also excited about some deeply cosy reading. I have a couple of horror books that I want to read in prep for Autumn. The Stand by Stephen King has arrived. (I swear our poor post lady nearly had a hernia delivering it).

I think that covers everything. I hope you have had a great August and are getting excited by the thought of autumn. I'll be back on Thursday as normal and have a guilty pleasure to review with the most glorious old fashioned cover.
