July has been insane! An extremely happy month due to traveling to see Holly get married, but we moved as well. Moving with a 3 year-old is not conducive to reading time. So my stack of To-Reads is growing every day. Combined with my compulsion to grab at least one extra book every time I walk into the Chicago Public Library-I need to get some books out of my house and off my To-Read List.
Thankfully, Octavia at Read, Sleep, Repeat came up with ARC August as a challenge to get through some books and I’m joining in!
I’m hoping to read at least 8 off my list including:
Bad Feminist, Roxane Gay (I’m reading this now and its good!)
Lucky Us, Amy Bloom
House of the Four Winds, Mercedes Lackey, James Mallory
Elizabeth is Missing, Emma Healy
The Arsonist, Sue Miller
And the other 3 I’ll decide on when I get there! Anyone else doing ARC August? What are you reading?
Happy month of reading!
I really want to read Bad Feminist. I didn’t love Lucky Us but Elizabeth is Missing is excellent. Sounds like you have some excellent reading material for this challenge! And I’m glad you survived moving – I hate it every time but I can’t even imagine what it would be like to move with a small human!
Bad Feminist is a lot lighter than I was expecting so far-not in a bad way if that makes sense. My small human is the greatest-but OMG does not make moving easy.
I’ve read Elizabeth is Missing, I found this one hard going but only because of the subject matter, not the writing. My August is full of crime fiction 🙂
You read so much good crime fiction it seems! I’ll look forward to seeing what you like!
