Every other month I set myself a little challenge to complete which alternates depending on the month from Chrissi Cupboard Month and Real Book Month to Kindle/NetGalley/Review Copy Month. This August it is the turn for real books, which is one of my favorite months. I have a HUGE backlog of books just itching to be read and its a way of trying to get that pesky TBR and my own book collection down to er…more manageable levels, if at all possible! This August I shall mostly be reading :
The Ocean At The End Of The Lane – Neil Gaiman
The Sweetness At The Bottom Of The Pie – Alan Bradley
I Am The Messenger – Markus Zusak
Annihilation – Jeff VanderMeer
The Moth – Catherine Burns
Tamar: A Novel of Espionage, Passion and Betrayal – Mal Peet
Born Weird – Andrew Kaufman
The Last Banquet – Jonathan Grimwood
1222 – Anne Holt
The Panda Theory – Pascal Garnier
All these books have a bit of a theme through them – they are the books I have (shamefully) still to read from the wonderful reading spa I went to with my sister, Chrissi quite a while ago now. We recently went again to Mr B’s Emporium Of Reading Delights for another spa and it reminded me I really had to finish what we had last time! So now… I will! Looking forward to all of these beauties.
