Jamaican Sunset |
August was a crazy month! I went on vacation to Jamaica with my husband and our friends, I was godmother to my best friend's daughter, I went to the PAYA Book Festival and met incredible authors and bloggers, and lastly, I went back to school/work. It was definitely a busy month. This year I am teaching 6th and 8th grade, which are can be challenging, because they are so very different. I'm looking forward to a nice long Labor Day weekend down the shore as long as the weather holds up! I'm sad to see summer go, but I am excited for the beautiful fall weather, football, and of course, apple pie.
Books Read in August:
13. Matched by Ally Condie (review to come!)
My August Top Five:
1. Favorite Book: Matched by Ally Condie- It was an amazing book! Look for my review this week!
Beautiful Negril |
2. Biggest Letdown: Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr - I just thought it was ok- a middle of the road kind of book for me.
3. Biggest Surprise: Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer- WOW! I definitely want to read the other books in this series.
Jamaica - how fun! I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteI was also extraordinarily let down by Wicked Lovely, and if Matched was so great,m I am now more excited than ever to read it!
Brizmus- Jamaica was great-thanks! Matched was awesome. I hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMatched was fab. I agree. But my favourite read of this month has to be Immortal Beloved. I am such a fan of that book.
ReplyDeleteBecky- You have convinced me to pre-order this one to my Nook. I can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteLife As We Knew it is so good! I enjoyed the rest of the series but this one was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou had such an awesome month! I can't wait to read Matched. I'm really looking forward to your review! Hope you get a bunch of great reading-loving students this year :)
