August Book Review

Happy Tuesday Friends! I hope your week got off to a great start and you have exciting things planned for this week.  

For 2016, I have decided that it is important for me to take the time to read books... I know, I know, I say this every year, but this year I promise will be different! 

The goal is to each month, read a random assortment of books and share a few thoughts about the book (but not too much as I don't want to spoil the fun for anyone).  I love reading and I love sharing books with you guys.

Plus, this is a great opportunity for you all to share some of your awesome reads with me!

And you can keep track all year long by clicking 2016 Books at the top of my blog.  I will keep a running list of books right there for you.

Okay, time for the books I've read // currently reading in August!

I had added Ready Player One by Ernest Cline to my to be read list a few months back because it sounded interesting and something that Justin and I would have enjoyed to read together.  So of course I was excited when Justin downloaded it on Audible.  We listened to the book in a little over a week and it was so good.  If you like gaming centered books, I would recommend it.  The book caught me from the first chapter and kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.  

I tried starting reading The Light Between Oceans back in March and just could not get into the book.  I think I was not in the right state of mind to read it then, so I decided to give it another shot.  I think the movie advertisements caught my attention and I was drawn to the book.  So I grabbed it again and really enjoyed it this time around.  It definitely pulls at your heart strings and you find yourself torn with what to think about the whole situation.

Books I purchased in August:

So this month I managed to pick up a few books while on my trip to Traverse City and I am excited to read both of them.  This month I picked up Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and The Ruins of Gorlan (The Ranger's Apprentice Series #1).  I picked up the second book per the recommendation of someone at the book store while we were there.  Apparently Justin had already read these series and he is excited I am going to read them too.

Well that is all for my books for August!
