Everything I read in August. (And some you should too!)

A little bit of everything.

Howdy! By the time this reaches you, I’ll be in Portugal, where I’m spending most of September. Having a Portuguese boyfriend has many perks, this is one of my favorite ones. You’ll still hear from me, but I’m excited to take a break from work and be a little less “online” in general.

I slowed down a bit in August on reading, mostly because I hit my Goodreads reading goal for the year— four months early! Woo! I set a high goal for myself this year (60 books) and I’m a little surprised by how quickly I smashed that.

Since hitting my goal, I treated myself to re-reading a book I’d already read, and slowing my reading roll in general, which was necessary after finishing the gargantuan Long Island Compromise. (I LOVED this follow up with the author in the New York Times.)

As for September reading? I’ve already gobbled up most of God of The Woods. Can’t wait to clock lots of reading time in Portugal! In the meantime, scroll on for August reads. 🤍
