Instagram Reading Wrap Up: August 2017

Here's my monthly wrap up of all the books that I read in August, which I originally posted on Instagram. I've been posting monthly wrap ups of all the books I read each month on Instagram (A.K.A. Bookstagram) for a while now, and I've decided to start posting them here as well.

Here are all of the books that I read, or in the case of Francesca Zappia's Eliza and Her Monsters, finished reading in August. @authoremmachase's Royally Matched and @jrwardauthor's The Angels' Share were both books that I was reading for the second time in preparation for the release of the third and final books in their respective series. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to read either of those books last month, so I'm going to read both Royally Endowed and Devil's Cut this month. I absolutely loved @kasiewest's book, Lucky in Love. 😀 I really liked @lainit's Strange the Dreamer, but I definitely thought that it was a very confusing book. I'm definitely going to read the sequel, though. 😀 Despite the fact that a lot of people seem to absolutely love Eliza and Her Monsters, I unfortunately hated it for the most part. Honestly, there quite a few times that I considered DNFing the book, and I've only done that with two books in the years that I've been reviewing books for my blog. While I wish that I had been able to read at least one or two more books that were in my August T.B.R., I still feel like I had a pretty good month reading wise as far as how the month of August was for me. 😀 #bookstagram #bookaholic #bookaddict #bookworms #bookworm #bookblogger #bookblog #strangethedreamer #lainitaylor #bourbonkings #theangelsshare #jrward #luckyinlove #kasiewest #royallymatched #royallyseries #emmachase #elizaandhermonsters #francescazappia

I just started reading Laini Taylor’s book, Strange the Dreamer, today. I’m honestly not entirely confident that I understand what’s going on, but I’m absolutely loving this book so far, lol.

Instagram TBR Post: August 2017

Here's my TBR (To Be Read) post of all the books that I want to read in August, which I originally posted on Instagram. Much like my July reading wrap up post, I've been posting monthly TBR posts of all the books that I want to read each month on Instagram (A.K.A. Bookstagram) for a while now, and I've decided to start posting them here as well.

Here are almost all of the books that are in my August T.B.R. Two books that are high on my list of priorities to read are J.R. Ward's new book Devil's Cut, and @authoremmachase's Royally Endowed, which comes out August 14th. Unfortunately, the copy of Devil's Cut that I got in the mail yesterday was missing approximately the first 20 pages of the book, so Amazon is sending me a new copy of the book, which should come in the mail tomorrow. I'm determined to finish @chessiezappia's Eliza and Her Monsters by the end of the month. Royally Matched, Heart of the Matter, and The Angels' Share are all books that I'm re-reading for various reasons. My blog will be hitting the 2 million page views milestone in the next month or so, and one of the very first blog posts that I did was a post on my initial thoughts on Heart of the Matter. I want to read the book again so I can write a full review of the book in honor of my blog's upcoming viewership milestone. One of my main reading goals now is to read some of the @owlcrate books that I've received, but haven't read yet. Reading @themackenzilee's The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue really got me in the mood to finally read My Lady Jane, especially since I've always been a fan of historical fiction. I'm really excited to finally read Strange the Dreamer. I think it's pretty safe to say that I won't be able to read all of the these books by the end of August, so I'll most likely end up including some of these books in my September T.B.R. Please, wish me luck on my reading this month, Everybody! #bookstagram #owlcrate #strangethedreamer #lainitaylor @kasiewest @lainit @emilygiffinauthor @kendareblake @authorjenniferprobst @authorkaylaolson
