August: Bought 43, got 1 freebie, read 14. TBR up 30 to 698. And worst of all, I still don't regret any of the purchases. They are all books by authors I like, and that I want to read. 43 books for £22.65, an average purchase price of just under 53p. Well, I'm still five books down on the start of the year! |

![]() I can't imagine buying that many books in a month, unless I was getting like ALL of Poirot or Maigret or something. I used to hoard public domain material, but even that has slowed down for me. |

For August, I'm at 47/60 books completed and 15,468/20,000 pages completed. 5/12 Storygraph challenge books done. My TBR is up a lot. A little guilt here as I added 2 new authors. Added 6 audiobooks and 29 ebooks.
Didn't get a lot of different titles completed since I spent most of the month on War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. Finished today. Great historical fiction. Cancelled Audible again until November. Last edited by Tarana; 09-01-2023 at 10:18 PM. |

I no longer fret over numbers. I try to read regularly (daily) and these days its the best I can do, given that I need to sleep a lot more than I used to.

Yellowface is turning into a good book. I am pleasantly surprised. Stephen King liked it so I wonder if there is a supernatural twist somewhere down the line? Basically a woman and her college BF are writers and one is jealous of the others success. One dies and the other steals a manuscript and rewrites it to make it her own and becomes famous. Somewhere down the line her stealing the manuscript backfires. That is not a spoiler. its basically the description of the book you find online
