I thought I had read all of Elin’s books but have not heard of Natural Selection?! I’m reading the Throne of Glass series and have started Brambly Hedge with my kids which is just a delight :)

Yes! It was just released not too long! I read Five Star Weekend of hers. Between the two, I am now motivated to read the rest of her backlist! I’ve heard good things about Throne of Glass. I’m slowly getting into fantasy. I might have to add this one to my list!

"It's Elementary" is on my TBR list!

My favorite reads in August were: "The God of the Woods" by Liz Moore, "The Ministry of Time" by Kaliane Bradley, "Take my Hand" by Dolen Perkins-Valdez, and "Did You Hear About Kitty Karr?" by Crystal Smith Paul

I throughly enjoy your recaps, and it came at a perfect time when I needed to do house things and for a quick pick me up.

So yessss to being a mood reader. I have a TBR list that is a really loose plan, and in no particular order. Also, wasn’t Soledad’s story a nice read, I ate it up quickly. And keep on bringing the cozy reads, I have a few intense reads on my list and I wouldn’t mind them in rotation.

So I’m currently reading Americanah. It’s written really beautifully, but I’m taking my time on this one to immerse myself in the African culture, language, and storyline. In August I finished The Interruption of Everything by Terry Mcmillian and it was a nice complement to two vacations.

Yes, I just use Goodreads and Fable to collect titles I want to read, but when it comes to a monthly TBR, it really just depends what I'm in the mood for. The cozy reads would definitely be a great palette cleanser for your heavy ones. I've been hearing about Americanah for a while but have never picked up. I think I'll add it to my list as well. Thanks for the recs!
