First let me say that August has been a really, really strange reading month for me. It's been chaotic and ultimately awesome with our big move, plus I've been trying to get through the queue of books I requested for review over at NetGalley, meaning I've read outside of my normal preferences a little more than usual. I also finished my Great Expectations project like, fifteen minutes ago. So looking over my Goodreads list at all my August reads, I realized I actually gave NO four-star reviews this month: totally bizarre, as in general, four-star reviews make up the vast majority of the books I choose to finish and post about.
So, here are the three books that earned five-star reviews from me this month:
My Life Next Door by Huntley FitzpatrickMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
(My review here.)
Blink Once by Cylin BusbyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
(My review here.)
And of course:
Great Expectations by Charles DickensMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
(My concise review is on Goodreads but I'll be posting it here on Sunday. My chapter notes are here.)
I'm sure I will be reading My Life Next Door soon with all the reviews that I have seen lately! I'm so intrigued by it. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, if you like contemporary at all, I think you'll really enjoy MY LIFE NEXT DOOR. It just felt like, yeah, THIS is how contemporary should be written.
