I’m back with another monthly reading round-up. August was a slow month (at least for me) in terms of reading. I had a lot of family events this month so I was a bit too busy to read. I mainly read at work on my browser and not many physical books.
I’ve also been dealing with a lot mental health wise so I’ve been trying to focus more on getting outside and walking. It’s been a really difficult time for me mentally because I won’t share too much, but I have a mental illness that makes me doubt myself a lot.
I’m really looking forward to Autumn, not only because of everything, but also because of the cozy and slow pace it gives. My daughter and I really get into the vibes of fall, looking forward to Halloween and all the fun things that you can do.

While writing this list, I noticed I read a lot of throwback series and not as many M/F romance as usual. I also had an average rating of 3/5 stars because I find the throwback series while good, are almost all the same story for each book. I enjoy them, but not as much as newer series that are more unique throughout the series.
Let me know what you read in the comments. I would love to hear from you.
