As the summer sun began to wane, August turned out to be a month filled with captivating reads that took me on journeys far and wide. From the enchanting worlds of magical realism to the heart-pounding tension of a good thriller, this month’s book selection offered a diverse array of stories that kept me eagerly turning pages. In this wrap-up, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the books that made August a memorable month for reading, offering insights into what stood out, what fell short, and what might just become your next favorite read.
It's in His Kiss: The 2nd Epilogue
Julia Quinn
What happened to the diamonds?
If you've read "It's in His Kiss, " you want to know. Don't miss this charming and passionate addendum, in which Gareth proves that some things get better with age, Hyacinth gains new respect for her mother (with a daughter like Isabella she'd have to, wouldn't she?), and everyone learns that while diamonds are lovely, sometimes tenacity is a girl's best friend.
Divine Rivals
Rebecca Ross
When two young rival journalists find love through a magical connection, they must face the depths of hell, in a war among gods, to seal their fate forever.
After centuries of sleep, the gods are warring again. But eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow just wants to hold her family together. Her mother is suffering from addiction and her brother is missing from the front lines. Her best bet is to win the columnist promotion at the Oath Gazette.
To combat her worries, Iris writes letters to her brother and slips them beneath her wardrobe door, where they vanish―into the hands of Roman Kitt, her cold and handsome rival at the paper. When he anonymously writes Iris back, the two of them forge a connection that will follow Iris all the way to the front lines of battle: for her brother, the fate of mankind, and love.
Shadow and Bone meets Lore in this epic enemies-to-lovers fantasy novel filled with hope and heartbreak, and the unparalleled power of love.
As I close the chapter on August’s reading adventures, I’m left reflecting on the stories that resonated with me the most and those that challenged my perspectives. This month was a reminder of the power of books to transport, transform, and sometimes, to simply provide comfort. Whether I was swept away by a compelling narrative or paused to savor a beautifully written passage, each book added something unique to my reading experience. I’m excited to see where my literary journey takes me next, and I hope you found some inspiration for your own TBR list along the way. Until next time, happy reading!
