I care about sleeping enough. 😉 3. vampire (a book that broke you) Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech 4. lacy (a book with an envious character) The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle (character in question is Prince Lir) 5. ballad of a homeschooled girl (a book that you like that other people don't) Well, the book is more divided than widely disliked, but I'll have to go with Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson. 6. logical (a book with a red flag love interest) Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier (the character in question is Maxim de Winter) 7. get him back! (A book you have mixed feelings for) Nick...

August Wrap-Up

Here are all the books I read in August with their respective links to their reviews, if applicable. Yeah, I've gotten kinda lazy to rewrite their summaries here. And some I didn't write summaries because they are sequels. 😂 I read a total of 12  books. Yeah, more than I usually read on average each month!

So that meant more books were read.  What was your favorite/least favorite book you read in August? One Piece Volumes 2, 3, and 4 (3 books) - All 5 stars! Skullduggery Pleasant 1 -Full review here . 4.5 stars.  The Tea Dragon Festival and The Tea Dragon Tapestry (2 books) -Both 5 stars! Middle School and Other Disasters: Worst Broommate Ever - Full review here . 5 stars My Calamity Jane -Full review here . 4.5 stars Comet in Moominland -Full review here . 4.5 stars Spy x Family Volume 2 - 5 stars Ronia the Robber's Daughter ...

Except Frank is secretly one himself. Annie does have a disdain for garou at first because she used to work for a family of one and they treated her terribly, but then when she meets other people who are garou and eventually finds out Frank (whom she has a crush on) and Jane are garou, her opinion eventually changes. Jane finds an ad in a newspaper about a cure for garou, and she goes out farther west of the country to find who is givi...
