Oh, August. It’s offensively hot outside and super busy at work (I looove it, though) (the new job and training the staff, not the heat, to be clear). Sounds like a great time to stay indoors and read in what little downtime I have this month.

Book Clubs
So we had a division retreat at work recently, and the focus was our personal wellness. The first session I attended was “Who wants to be in a book club?” One might ask, “Suzanne, do you really want to join more book clubs?” but I think we all know the answer to that already, so let’s just move on.
Anyway, the book club list is longer now. No regrets.
- Nine Women, One Dress by Jane L. Rosen
- Happy Place by Emily Henry
- Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
- The Disaster Tourist by Yun Ko-Eun
- Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
- My Life With Bob: Flawed Heroine Keeps Book of Books, Plot Ensues by Pamela Paul
- Death by Water by Kerry Greenwood
- With Love, From Cold World by Alicia Thompson
- Congratulations! The Best is Over! by R. Eric Thomas – In addition to being the Fantastic Strangelings book of the month, it’s also a MMD Minimalist book!
- Ripe by Sarah Rose Etter
- The Militia House by John Milas
TBR
The combination of August-in-Texas heat and August-in-Housing scheduling has me giving off serious I-do-what-I-want vibes in my personal life (I mean, even more than usual). All the reading this month outside of book clubs (and really, for the most part, in book clubs as well) is pure enjoyment. Here are some books I’ve gleaned from my own shelves or the library and added to the on-deck TBR pile.
- The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston
- How Not To Drown in a Glass of Water by Angie Cruz – Also this month’s Girlxoxo Key Word Challenge (keyword “how”) selection.
- Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan
- One for the Money by Janet Evanovich
- Latte Love by Andrea Cumbo – I get to read the ARC for the first of this series that comes out on September 1! I know I’m going to love it, so I highly encourage you to preorder.
What is the best thing (book or otherwise) you’ve read lately?
