RTW: Best Book of August

Better late than never, I've heard, so: here's my Road Trip Wednesday entry for Best Book of August!


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 DoorMy Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

(My review here.)




Blink OnceBlink Once by Cylin Busby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

(My review here.)




And of course:

Great Expectations Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
My 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.)
