august reading wrap*up

here are allllll the books i read (or thought i’d read!) in august…

each title below the weekly reading book review video takes you to the book at bookshop.org, “a better way to buy books online,” because each purchase supports local, independent bookstores in your community!

let me know in the comments which stories you’re currently loving or if you’ve read any of these, too!

(yes, i am accutely aware that i have a book-buying problem, but i can never resist a good recommendation!)

and anytime you need a new colourful book, you can find my reading recs, organized by genre or topic, at my bookshop.org page right here: https://bookshop.org/shop/halthegal

pour yourself a cuppa coffee (or few), & happy reading!

xo,

*hallie :)
