August 2021 Stats and September 2021 Goals

So, August was a fantastic reading month for me. I had one five star read (which you’ll see in just a moment - technically it was 4.5 stars, but since I rounded up on Goodreads, I figured I’d round up here too) and started a few that, though I haven’t finished, I anticipate will be five stars at the end.

I also got to participate in the weekend-long 1000 doors readathon, and while I didn’t quite finish, I definitely think I’m going to choose a book based off the third prompt after I finish my second book, because I really liked the first book I read and am still enjoying the second.

Books read in August 2021 (actually since my last stats post which was a few days before August started): 8

Favorite Book in August: Rainbow Milk by Paul Mendez (review coming September 29, 2021)
