August Wrap-Up

Another month, another 23 books. Insanity!! This is what no commuting and no children looks like. I had another mini-vacation this month so got some reading in then.

There were so many amazing ones this month. Homegoing is officially on my favourite books of all time list; The Invincible Summer of Juniper Jones was a book I read within a span of a few hours and seriously loved so much and made me crazy emotional; and Anxious People made me finally understand the Fredrik Backman hype. I would highly recommend any of the below 4.5 stars and up!!
