Well that month just flew by! I took a week off early in the month, and we went on another road-trip. This time, we headed east and spent time at a provincial park in a neighbouring province. That made it three provinces that we visited this summer!
The week before last, my former colleague had a big bash at their cottage for her husband's 50th birthday so we spent the weekend at the beach.
It's been a beautiful summer. We've had warm temps, very little rain, and no mosquitoes (because it's been so dry). I hope that Fall will be equally wonderful.

I finished eight books this month! That seems to be about average for me, and I'm pleased that it's higher than last month.

I read such good books last month! I think Twelve Days of Christmas and The Chosen were my stand-out favourite reads of the month. I tried to veer away a bit from mysteries, but I really enjoyed the one that I read: Here and Gone. That one is definitely a nail-biter!
My least favourite book was Make My Wish Come True. I did enjoy it, but I thought that I was going to get a holiday romance and that wasn't quite what was a delivered. Still, an enjoyable read but just wasn't what I was expecting!
I discovered two new authors, and I continued on in five series. I finished one of those series (The Book of Ivy), and I'm now up to date on three of the other series (The Hatching, Black Dagger Brotherhood, and Black Dagger Legacy).

8 books is really good! At least you had a nice summer and got to enjoy travel times with your family. It's nice to see where we live. :-) Happy September!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Freda! It was an awesome summer, and I definitely want to explore more of Canada. I found a website for an epic Manitoba road trip, which I want to do next summer. I've never even heard of the places on that trip!
