What’s up, guys? How’s your August been? Can you believe it’s the “BER” months already? I’m excited actually since it means November is just around the corner and I can’t wait to go home to the Philippines and spend time with my family. It’s the only thing I’ll think about in the next few weeks for sure.
But for now, I’ll give you a recap of my August reading, which is meh. I haven’t gotten my reading mojo back but I’d like to believe I’m slowly regaining it. Last month, I managed to add 5 books, 3 mangas translated to French, and 2 graphic novels in French to my read books pile. I’m needing Google translator less when reading, but please don’t try to talk to me in French yet. 😁 Below is the summary of the books I’ve read, few ebook book haul and my Goodreads reading challenge.
📖The Angel Esmeralda by Don DeLillo
📖Crimes Against a Book Club by Kathy Cooperman
📖If You Could See Me Now by Keris Stainton
📖Girl in Snow by Danya Kukafka
📖Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
📖Le mystère du jeteur de sorts (Sorcières, sorcières #1) by Joris Chamblain, Lucile Thibaudier
📖Le mystere des mangeurs d’histoires (Sorcières, sorcières #2) by Joris Chamblain, Lucile Thibaudier
📖 Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below #1 by Makoto Shinkai, Tomoko Mitani
📖Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below #2 by Makoto Shinkai, Tomoko Mitani
📖Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below #3 by Makoto Shinkai, Tomoko Mitani
93 out of 110. Getting there!
Self-imposed book ban just doesn’t work!
There goes my recap for last month. How about you? Are you doing the Goodreads reading challenge, too? Are you any closer to your goal?
hehehe I never find self-imposted book bans work 😉 Ah well, embrace the beautiful new books-
they’re definitely a consolation 😉 Well done on closing in on your goodreads challenge!!

True that! 😄 Thank you! Though, most of them are short stories/children’s book. I feel like I’m cheating my way to my goal sometimes. 😄

They’re actually Japanese manga translated into French. 😁 And, thanks for the nomination! I will get to it one of these days. I’m so swamped with awards and tags but too lazy to do it. 😁

I feel you. I have a lot of ARCs, too, that needed attention. But there’s just not a lot of time to read.
