And the most riveting fiction for this month... I borrowed this one from the library. I just might have to buy it when it comes out in paperback.

Looking Forward to Reading in August...

I am looking forward to reading some books I have stockpiled recently! All now my own books. No review books for August. I carefully managed that. See a few of the purchased ones below. Some of them will be read for sure!

As some of you may know I am moving to Wordpress.com so next month this link up will be at my new address! I will leave a link here on this blog so that you can find me. Do keep joining up. Next month I intend doing a giveaway for those who link to this post, not because I have a new address but it is my birthday month and I am celebrating with... books!

  9. The Choice sounds like a book my book club would adore! Glad to hear you loved it so much, i'll look into it for them. Also I hope your move to WP goes smoothly. It's stressful while a move is in action but looking back it seems like it was relatively easy. :) Happy reading in August too.
