August has been amazing.  It’s also sped by like a runaway train with no driver.  I’ve had a good month, in spite of the pretty horrible weather, and hope you have too.  I’ve not done as much reading because the socialising has taken over a little.  Anyway, here’s my month in review:

I can’t deny that this looks like quite a few books – but, in my defence, (1) they all look very appealing and (2) they are spread out over the next 3 months so I figure it’s not quite as greedy as it may seem.  Excuses, excuses, blah blah blah.

My Cover compare this month – I’ve gone for the alternative covers for the Lucy Hounsom books: Starborn and Heartland:

I’ve completed the second month of the SPFBO and will be posting about that shortly.

Hope you’ve all had a great August and hope September is even better..
