August is ending with cooler weather than I’ve had in a LONG time, and I am grateful for that. Life has been immensely busy outside of the blogging world, so I haven’t had tons of time to blog (…or read for that matter) again this month. I’ve been up to Sacramento a bunch, have worked several extra shifts at hospitals, which, while fun, definitely eat into my free time, had to deal with my car getting broken into, and also had to prep my manuscript for the Pitch Wars mentoring contest. Hopefully things will lighten up here in the next few months, so I’ll be back to normal soon! Anyway, here’s my August wrap-up in cased you missed anything.

One Classic and One ARC Per Month

Part of my blogging resolutions is to read a classic and advanced readers copy each month.
Classic: I tried Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, but had to DNF it. Now I’m reading Day of the Triffids. 
ARC: Tried to read Secret Passages in a Hillside Town, but it will a little too odd for me.
