Books Read in August 2023 (My Month Is Booked Link-Up)

 


                                                    Talking at Night –Claire Daverley

My Rating: 3 stars

I saw that one of my favorite authors loved this book which is a debut novel and I decided to give it a shot. I really liked the relationship between the two main characters. One thing I did not like about this book was that the conversations did not have quotes “ around them. I found that frustrating.

 

Summer Stage –Meg Mitchell Moore

My Rating: 4 stars

I really love Meg Mitchell Moore’s writing. This book was told from three different POV’s and it was so good.


The Captain’s Daughter –Meg Mitchell Moore

My Rating: 4 stars

Another great read from Meg Mitchell Moore. This book was very sad at some parts but overall it was a really great book. I really love her style of writing and I can’t wait to read the rest of her novels.

 

We Ship It –Lauren Kay

My Rating: 3 stars

This book centered on a very academic and strict rule following teenager who doesn’t want to go on a cruise with her family during summer but ultimately ends up having a pretty good time.

 

Cruel summer –Morgan Elizabeth

My Rating: 4 stars

This book was the second novel in the Seasons of Revenge series. I enjoyed this novel much more than the 1st one in the series.

 

What Happens After Midnight –K.L. Walther

My Rating: 4 stars

Another fantastic novel from K.L. Walther. I love her style of writing. I always love her characters as well.

 

Tilly in Technicolor –Mazzy Eddings

My Rating: 4 stars

I loved that the two main characters in this novel are both Neurodivergent. I love the relationship between the two main characters.

 

The summer List –Ginger Walls

My Rating: 3 stars

This was a cute summer themed story. I really like the relationship between the two main characters.

 

Left Field Love –C.W. Farnsworth

My Rating: 5 stars

I love this book so much. I really love everything about this book: the characters, the setting, and the storyline. Spoiler: this book is on my list of my favorite books I’ve read this year.

    I really enjoyed Summer Stage too but hadn't heard of The Captain's Daughter.
