It's been almost a week and I feel like I'm still trying to adjust to NOT being on vacation 😂 That being said, I'm looking at plane tickets tomorrow because I'm going back to Mexico in December 😆 Anyway, in August, I read 8 books, for a total of 1674 pages, which is about 200 pages less than the previous month, but this is still one of my better reading months!
- 2 were full-length novels (1 of those was a re-read), 1 was a novella, and 5 were manga
- All 8 were part of a series
- I started 1 series and finished none 😅
- All 8 books were finished copies
- 7 were physical books and 1 ebook
- 1 was a 5-star read, 3 were 4.5 stars, and 4 were 4-star reads
- All 8 were traditionally published
- 6 were by authors I've previously read, and 2 were new to me
- 1 was an adult book, and 7 were YA
- 5 were action, and 3 were horror

So much Sakamoto Days this month 😆 This series has been the MVP this year. Lol. I am obviously really enjoying it! I also re-read High Tide and I also enjoyed it. It was just a good, quick, summer-y horror read.
More Sakamoto Days, then I read two more horror books. Clown in a Cornfield I liked, but not as much as I was anticipating. I think it had to do with it feeling really slow in the beginning because we didn't get the first murder until over 100 pages into the book. But I liked the second half of the book more! Still undecided whether I want to read more of the series, though. And Cicada was also good! Interesting concept with truly creepy scenes because I hate bugs 😣😂
Favorite book of the month:
This is the book I gave 5 stars to! I am loving this current arc!
Least favorite book of the month:
None! All of them were 4 stars and above!

Cicada is one I need to read about what you thought! I definitely am not a fan of bugs either, so that would probably creep me out too! Jealous that you have another trip to Mexico planned. My biggest upcoming trip is to St. Louis, across the state from Kansas City where I live, and that's for a librarian convention in October. But I'm still excited for it.

Ooooh I'm sure that will be fun! Anything book-related. I mean, you're working, but still! It's a trip! Lol.
