Find Her was another fabulous read from Gardner.

Despite August being one of my busiest months EVER I still managed to read 30 books! It’s been a huge adjustment for me getting back into the swing of things as far as my kids schedules. They have school, dance, therapy, it’s a constant balancing act. I feel like we’re finally getting a good routine down now so hopefully next month will feel a little smoother and won’t be such a mess! 

I’m starting to put together a Fall reading list so stay tuned..

How was your month?

    30 books Amy! AND blogging AND a busy Mom life?! Man you make me look bad lol You seemed to have a good quality reading month as well as quantity. You also seemed to mix things up and read a few different genres this month.

    The Address caught my eye. I’m assuming its a historical fiction mystery? I’ll need to go read your review.

    I read my first Karin Slaughter book this month! I read Pretty Girls with my book club. I gave it the “most f***ed up book I read this month” award lol Despite the fact I felt aspects were unbelievable and farfetched, I enjoyed it and thought it was a real page turner.

    Dark Matter has been sitting on my shelf forever! I’ll need to read your review to motivate me to actually pick it up.

    Happy reading in September my friend!
