Well July has sped by, it is scary how fast the months go by. It is winter here, although it has been rather a mild one. When it is really cold I love a good fire to sit by and read but there haven't been too many of those days.

Top Book for July
To be honest no book stood out for me this past month. I think this would have been one of the most eagerly anticipated and enjoyed for this month.
August Looking Forward to ...
the publishing of this one, I have it on pre-order, however I most probably will not have space to read it in August but I can anticipate.
These are ones I have for review and they are all anticipatory joys.

I love the Fatal series and hope I have time in August for Fatal Identity. The Summer Bride is a series I have enjoyed and this is the last of the four brides. I have been thinking about trying B. J. Daniels for awhile and Debbie from The Reading Frenzy finally motivated me into buying one in the hope one day I will find space to read it. Just got to keep review books at bay until the end of the year.

You had a great month! I hope to read Sunshine Beach in August...and Family Tree is one I have on my list. Enjoy August!
ReplyDeletePretty books :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the Comment Challenge with me this month! I enjoyed many of the reviews you shared. Last Ride to Graceland and I'm Still Here were particularly interesting to me. Have a great August -- it's hard to imagine that meaning winter when it's 90+degrees here, but I hope you will have a lovely spring.
ReplyDeleteI will keep my eye out for many of these books. It looks like you had a great round up this month!
ReplyDeleteKeep winter there as long as you can, okay? Then it will take longer to come back over here... lol... You did awesome with 15 reads! Happy August!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great month! Pretty much all the books you have listed are ones I want to read. I really want to pick up The Forgotten Room and the new Susan Wiggs. And the Susan Elizabeth Phillips! The J.R. Ward series is really tempting me so I'm glad to see you enjoyed it. Hope August is another great month!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to read Julian Fellowes' new book. I'll be interested to read your review on it. Have a great August!
ReplyDeleteIsn’t it odd how some months we’ll have more than one book stand out to us, and then other months, nothing? A stand-out to me from my reading this month was Warriors Don’t Cry, a book that’s been out for 20 years, but I'd never heard of it until this year. It’s about school segregation in the state of Arkansas in 1957.
ReplyDeletet looks like you had a great round up this month. thanks for your post Sakura Beauty
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me how many new authors you pick up every month. It's so easy to stick to the same authors, so I admire that you're always expanding your horizons. Have a wonderful August!
ReplyDeleteFirst Star I See Tonight has such a beautiful cover. I hope you enjoy it when you get around to reading it. Wishing you a wonderful August.
ReplyDeletelooks like a lot of nice reading. Have not read any of those
ReplyDeleteEvery month I read your round-up post and think, I'm going to start tracking my stats...then I forget till the next month. You have some great books on your list and a real mix. I wonder about Julian Fellowes. I am the only person on the planet who hasn't watched Downton I think but the book does keep catching my eye.
