Monthly Wrap Up- August

Hello readers!

Today's post is going to be a wrap up. Though I did just finish the NE.W.T.s and there is a separate recap post, I did end up reading outside of the Read-A-Thon and I picked up a few books.

We will start with all the books I purchased this month!

I found this book off of Goodreads daily Deals email and picked it up for Kindle. I haven't read anything by V.E. Schwab yet, but I do want to read the Shades of Magic series. I haven't heard a whole lot about the VIllians series thought people all over Instagram were super excited for the release.

I finally picked up the Six of Crows series in physical copy! I listened to Six of Crows via audiobook earlier this year but I wanted to revisit the story because I felt like I missed a lot through that format before continuing to Crooked Kingdom. There was a lot of debate about purchasing the new Special Edition Six of Crows, but I didn't want to wait for a Crooked Kingdom and I didn't want mis-matched series. I'm also really good about not having double copies of books.

While browsing my favorite local bookstore, I found a second hand copy of this book which, with my credit wound up being free for me. I've heard nothing but great things about this book and I look forward to finding time to read it.

Now onto the books I've read this month. Most of these have separate reviews so I won't go into too much detail.

I purchased, read, watched the movie, and did a blog post in the span of two days for this graphic novel. I really, truly enjoyed it and I think it really made me reflect deeper on my reading habits. For one, it made me interested in researching the time frame that comics I pick up more which I touched in my Top 5 Wednesday post about Hisorical books. I would recommend reading the Comic first and then watching the movie if you haven't seen it or it's been a while since you've watched it.

These are the books I had set and finished for N.E.W.T.s. which I have recapped in my N.E.W.Ts post. I didn't do individual reviews for PJ's series because I didn't want to start reviewing the books halfway through the series and I'm probably going to do an entire series post about Percy's journey later on this year.
