I cannot believe that it is already September! It is going to be busier than usual for me! I am participating in three blog tours, which is more than I will usually commit to in one month.
I had a great reading month in August with three 5 star reviews! Also, the lowest rating I gave to any book was 3.5 stars. Check out my recap for the month below:

LOVED Born a Crime, it was one of the best memoirs I read this year, and just finished The Black Kids.

Born a Crime was so fantastic! It’s one of my all time favorites now. Do you have any other memoir recommendations? It was my first, and I don’t know where to go from here!

I loved Becoming, it’s narrated by Michelle Obama, and Jessica Simpson’s was great too, even for a non-fan 😁
