How is it that we are already in August? This year is flying by! It was another month of amazing reads and yet, with as much as I read, my tbr remains overflowing? I don’t understand how that works? I guess it’s a good thing that I have more to read than I can get to, right? I’ve been participating in some amazing buddy reads and book club discussions and I cannot tell you how much I look forward to these – they are all online and just make for such a richer reading experience. Some of the reading is a little out of my comfort zone and I am really enjoying that and some is exactly what I love to read – it’s the best of everything!
