Oh hey is it that time already? It was a month of ups and downs but I found two new favorite fantasy books that I absolutely have to read more from so that's a huge win.

I'm 93% of the way to my updated yearly reading goal! I started with 25 in 2025 and look where we are.

💙📚 Storygraph wrap up!
My August wrap up! 10 books read with an average of 3.73 rating Highest rated books of the month included: His Face is the Sun, The Beast Player, and Blue Skin Gods. The average book length was 378 pages and took about 3 days to read. A picture of the covers of the 10 books I read this month. They are as follows; Lucha of the Night Forest A ghost in the throat The scorpion and the night blossom Metal from heaven Dreamslinger The Beast player Bright I burn Blue skinned gods His face is the Sun Every step she takes

This is a great list! My 7th grader love, loved the Amari and Witchling series. She's reading Nic Blake now.

I'd also add Dreamslinger by Gracie Kim to the list. Very unique magic system.

I'm going to pick up a copy of Dreamslinger at my local bookstore when it comes out in a couple weeks.
