I set myself the challenge of reading 10 books over the summer, and I have smashed that total, as I have read a total of 21 books over August. π Most of these have had reviews posted already, and the rest will be posted closer to their publishing dates.
Goodreads challenge:

I have completed my Goodreads 2021 reading challenge this month. I had set it to 50 books and I never believed I would hit that target at the beginning of the year.
I will have to set a slightly higher challenge next year.

My Books of the month:
This is a really hard choice this month as I have read so many great books. I have chosen one paperback and one ARC:
π Before I Met You by Lisa Jewell
π We Are All Liars – Carys Jones
This was an amazing month for books, and looking forward to next month’s reading. I am unlikely to be able to read quite as much as I am back to work now, but I will try to read as much as I can.
Thank you all for reading π
Are there any of these books you have read or are looking forward to reading?
