What a month. I’m sorry I haven’t been posting regularly and putting my reviews up. Life has been so busy at work and I’ve also been taking a course, so I’ve been exhausted and had zero energy to blog. I’m hoping that I’ll have more time, come October, because a major project at work is now wrapping up and I think I’ll have a bit more time on my hands to do other things that I’ve just been too tired to do.
Anyway, here’s what a managed to read this month:

Favorite Book of the Month:
The Left-Handed Booksellers of London was just so much fun to read. I loved all the characters, the action, and the story was really captivating!
Least Favorite Book of the Month:
The Girl Who Smiled Beads just did not grab me like I was expecting. I learned a lot from Wamariya, but I just didn’t care for her narrative style. The order of it didn’t really do it for me and I didn’t really feel like I could take anything away from it, in the end, other than that war is horrendous and does terrible things to people.
