I finished 4 books in August. I finished two more last week and I'm halfway through another right now. You're just going to get the August books on here today, but you can follow me in real time on Instagram.
And, since I'm a big believer in working smarter, not harder, I'm going to repost my Instagram captions here...simply because I give some pretty detailed thoughts there anyway.
Finally, because most of what I read is pretty prone to spoilers, I don't accidentally want to give anything away. So going with what I've already said is probably best!
So...You can zoom in? Or go to my IG?
The Unraveling of Cassidy Holmes by Elissa R. Sloan 4 stars
You're Not Enough (and that's okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love by Allie Beth Stuckey 5 stars
This bolded intro on Goodreads *kind of* says it all:
I have so much I could rattle on about here. The basics: If you're a Christian, you need to read this book. This message is life-changing. It was a turning point for me. As a new mom, who had no idea what I was supposed to do and where I was supposed to go and how I was supposed to live (we moved 3 times in two years...my kid's entire life has been nothing but moving back and forth across the country), I needed to hear something truthful. This was it because it's not just my truth or a truth, it's the truth. It's much easier to believe in the Gospel than it is to try to make my own way. It was a harsh dose of tough love when I didn't want it but I needed it.
The Guest List by Lucy Foley 3 stars
This was good enough. I wasn't blown away but I thought it was well-written. I wanted to see illustrations, to be honest. The setting sounded beautiful but I had trouble visualizing.

All in all, I'm in a good place, reading-wise. What's the best book you read last month?
Linking up!
