August Book Report

August 2025
A Constructive Month!

I finished 9 books last month.

A quote from this month's reading:

“If you want one thing too much it’s likely to be a disappointment. The healthy way is to learn to like the everyday things, like soft beds and buttermilk—and feisty gentlemen.”
― Larry McMurtry, Lonesome Dove

Here are the books I finished in August 2025: 

1. Enquiry by Dick Francis (3-stars)
2. Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry (5-stars)
3. Arkansas Traveller by Earlene Fowler (4-stars)
4. The Antidote by Karen Russell (5-stars)
5. Bitter Roots by Ellen Crosby (4-stars)
6. Bibliomaniac: An Obsessives Tour of the Bookshops of Britain by Robin Ince (audiobook, 3-stars)
7. Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch (audiobook, 4-stars)
8. Close to Death by Anthony Horowitz (3-stars)
9. The Family Tree Toolkit by Kenyatta D. Berry (4-stars)

My 20 Books of Summer project did not get completed. I read 6 of the books on my list which I am considering progress as they were all from my shelves. Unfortunately, I felt compelled to attend my library's book sale so there are now even more unread books on my shelves than there were at the start of the summer.
