Wrap Up: August 2019 –

Hey everyone!
August is over, which means another monthly wrap up post. For my August TBR, I picked out 4 books, and for the first time in months, not only did I stick to my TBR list for the month, but I actually managed to read every book on it, and 1 more after that! I did get in to a bit of a reading slump towards the end of the month, but hopefully I’m over it now.

Here are the 5 books I finished in August:

1 – Blood and Sand by Jennifer M. Lane

I was gifted a copy of Blood and Sand by the author, in exchange for an honest review. This was a heart-warming, enjoyable read, with strong Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls) vibes. I honestly don’t have a single bad word to say about this book, and if you’re looking for something to curl up with in the evenings, then this is the perfect choice.

2 – Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

Fight Club has been on my TBR for a very long time, and the movie is one of my favourites of all time, so I jumped at the chance of being part of an Instagram readalong. This book was everything I was expecting and more. I was concerned that already knowing the storyline would ruin the book for me, but nothing could ruin this work of pure genius.

3 – The Night You Left by Emma Curtis

I had high expectations for this book, and it definitely didn’t let me down. It had everything I could have asked for from a thriller. It was intense, frustrating (in the best way), and had me completely clueless to the very end.

4 – The Onyx Crown by Alan Hurst

The Onyx Crown was completely out of my comfort zone, but I gave it a try anyway, and although it wasn’t my favourite book of the month, and forgetting the slow start, I actually enjoyed this.

5 – Lady Killer by Jeff Richards

This book was a big disappointment for me. There was not even half as much action as I had expected, and when there was, it was rather anticlimactic. I wasn’t a fan of the writing style, and the sex scenes had me cringing. Can we ban the word “pecker” from ever being used in sex scenes, PLEASE?
