It’s finally spring! I finally have my reading chair in the sun, and the Melbourne Writers Festival has just finished, so I have time to read again! Which is great, because while I didn’t plan it, I ended up buying LOTS of books at the MWF Dymocks book store.

Reading isn’t really the problem. I’ve read most of lots of things, but I’ve only actually finished one book in August. That means that September’s Month of Reading will have lots of finished books, as I cross the finish line of all the things I almost-finished in August. The final pages of two books are waiting for me today.

What did you read in August?
