August Books

Without further ado, the book list:

All I read this month was one series by Dawn Cook. The titles of the four books were as follows:
First Truth
Hidden Truth
Forgotten Truth
Lost Truth

This was extremely light and fluffy reading, and I enjoyed it a great deal. The series is about a girl who has the "gift" of magic, for better or for worse. She starts out believing she is a "Keeper," and winds up at the Hold trying to undo an evil Keeper who's pretty much emptied the Hold and taken up residence in the tower like all bad guys should. The series follows her through several adventures, and I enjoyed it a lot. The last book makes me believe that if there are not more yet, there probably will be. I recommend them if you're into fluffy fantasy. Otherwise, continue sipping your espresso and pick up On the Road. I didn't read it this month, but I read it last summer, and it was quite literary (and good). I personally needed some fluffy reading this month, and this completely fit the bill. Enjoy! Feel free to share your own reads in the comments.

I was wondering if you had finished the series or not! I just re-read Lost Truth, great fluff reading and I am glad you enjoyed it!!

Anyway, I should catch up with you sometime. The step kids are over for the last week of summer vacation right now, and I am sure you are having a ball up north!

i posted my books on my blog so check that out... otherwise, i too had a light month for reading. well, not light text-wise, but light as in not many books. august is a hard month to read in if you're not sitting on the beach sipping mai tais.

Catching up would be nice.

My reading this summer has been all over the place, August especially.

"Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" by Haruki Murakami.

"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" (again) by Tom Stoppard.

The Atlantic Monthly's annual "Fiction Issue" which, for the most part, is fantastic.

And "Number 9 Dream" by David Mitchell, which did I read at the beach, though not while sipping Mai Thais...


I probably would have read more, but I only had one free weekend all month...which was nice. Japan is fun; you should come visit!
