August in Review
Lots of good reading this month! A total of 18 books read in August plus 4 DNFs (did not finish). It's been a long time since I had dnf's but I'm in the mood right now where I don't want to bother with books that don't grip me. My best book of the month was a hard choice between A Dirty Job and The Echo Maker, two completely different books, but after a bit of thought I chose the fun book over the emotional one.
I didn't have a really terrible read this month for the worst book since I gave up on the truly horrible ones. I wrote about the first 3 I quit reading in this post. I'm sorry to say that I had another book I gave up on and that was Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. I hate to say it but I just got fed-up with it. The one main character I actually liked (Jacob) became just as annoying as the others and my mind just started wandering while I was reading. I was in a precarious situation with this series anyway; I loved the world Meyer created, the mythos behind her vampires and werewolves is really interesting but I just can't stand Bella. Maybe I'll come back to it at some point but for now there are better things I want to read.
