I can’t wait to read your review of Hope and Red. Everyone really seems to be loving it!
I loved it! No exception for me with this one, I completely agree with all the glowing reviews.
Great month! I see some books on here that I couldn’t fit into July, but hopefully I’ll have some time for in August (Time Siege, It Happened One Doomsday). Can’t wait to read your review of Hope and Red and City of Wolves!
I absolutely loved Hope and Red – I think it was my favourite this month!
Lynn 😀
You’ve had an impressively productive month, given the calls on your time, I think… You’ve kept up with the reading – on top of the major commitment of SPFBO, AND the readalong, which means you have to react at the pace of everyone else, rather than slotting it into your own timetable (a regrettable reason why I don’t participate – I just have too many calls on my time). I’m looking forward to seeing what you make of the Daniel Polansky – I loved the Lowtown series. Have a great week, Lynn:)
Yeah, I’m a bit of a maniac for taking things on and then wondering afterwards if maybe time should’ve been factored into the decision!
Really looking forward to the Polansky.
Lynn 😀
I’m going to also track it down!
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t read anything of your Classics Club list but even so you have read a great amount of books! I also need to catch-up on reviews – I have 3 books still to review but every time I review one I finish another book! I wish you more happy reading in August 🙂
You too Jessica 😀
What a great month. I also read It Happened One Doomsday and The Hatching and found them both to be great. Red Right Hand is getting pushed to August but I really want to get to it. I’m having to order Poison City from Book Depository because it is not going to be available in the US on release day and I absolutely have to get my hands on it!
I’m really looking forward to Poison City.
Lynn 😀
You got a lot read/done this month! 🙂 Look forward to hearing what you think of Polansky’s new book. I kept debating about requesting that one.
