Things continued to be intense this month and I just didn’t have much time for reading. It’s one of those times when I have several books going but haven’t completed most of them…
I did manage to fit in rereads of some of my all-time favorites. Some of these are going to be part of the upcoming Witch Week celebration, this year hosted by Calmgrove and Lizzie Ross, and I’m very excited about the whole program. Watch for more details coming soon!

Thanks for the mention, Lory. And despite however “intense” your month has been, you’ve still managed to keep us up-to-date on your reading.

Having this ongoing record helps keep me grounded, too.

I’ve had The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter sitting on my shelf unread for the longest time and I’m sad it didn’t live up to the ‘hype.’ Might have to push that down the list of what to read next.

Lory, with the intense time you’ve been having, it is good to see you have found time for old favourites. I always find re-reading so comforting.

I hope September allows you to read as much as you want to. I rarely reread books as I have so many new ones I want to experience. I’m currently reading an adult mystery book along the lines of Agatha Christie books and am enjoying it very much. It’s titled the 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (its an ARC for review).

Some months it’s harder to make room for reading than others. I’m off to go read your review of Jane, Unlimited now…
