August Reads

 


I've pretty much given up on my blog---except for recording my cookbook countdown.  I vacillate between starting blogging/journaling again (for my own satisfaction only) or not.
So, here I am.
I thought I'd just start slowly and post my August books.
It was a really good reading month for me.  
Better than any month ever--18 books. 


I had 2 five stars reads.
2 3 star reads.
and all the rest were 4 star reads.

I feel that the star rating system is so arbitrary.  
Because my 3 stars are still books I'd recommend.  3 stars means I liked the book.
I am very selfish with my 5 star ratings.  I don't give them often.
But that means that I would recommend all of these books to most of my friends.
Although, I know my audience, so the romances not to everyone.
My big surprise?  Running with Sherman.  I loved it.   




And that's my slow re-entry into the blogging world.
