Our August 2023 Reads
Here we are at the start of another month in 2023! And you know what that means: What books were read last month in August? Now that September is here, that means Fall will be here soon and with that comes: cooler temperatures, corn mazes, haunted houses, scary movie marathons and more!!
Kim was able to get two books read in August: Go Kim!
Here is what Kim read:
Here is what Jessica Read:
I read seven books in total for August: Six on audio and one physical paperback arc.
The books are listed in the order I finished them:
Insomnia by Sarah Pinborough- 4 stars
Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut- 2 stars
The List by Kiersten Modglin- 4 stars
Curves for Days by Laura Moher- 4.5 stars
Forgive Me Not by Jennifer Baker- 4 stars
Ghosted by Sarah Ready- 4 stars
Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney- I just finished this one a couple of days ago and have yet to decide on my rating. I’m thinking it will be 3-3.5 stars.
My favorite read was Curves for Days. This is a romance which surprisingly dealt with some serious issues! I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next in the series next year!
My ‘least favorite’ is a classic that just wasn’t for me: ‘And so it is’… Slaughterhouse Five… And so it is….

July 2023 Reads
Here we are at the end of another month in 2023! And you know what that means: What books were read in July? Some of the reviews have posted and others will be coming! Kim did not get any books read in July, so she won’t be taking part this month.
I read 6 books in total for July: 5 on audio and one on kindle. This month I had two top reads that I listened to on audio, but I enjoyed them so much that I had to buy physical copies of them! It’s fine that I had two top reads because it’s a two-book series as of now, with the author working on book three! I can’t wait for it!
The books are listed in the order I finished them:
Forever Hold Your Peace by Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke – 4 stars
Chaos Theory by Nic Stone- 4 stars
The Housemaid by Freida McFadden- 5 stars
The Housemaid’s Secret by Freida McFadden- 5 stars
The Sacrifice by Indrajit Garai- 3 stars
Tell Me What Really Happened by Chelsea Sedoti- 4 stars
My favorite reads were The Housemaid and The Housemaid’s Secret by Freida McFadden. They were great and I really enjoyed the audio performance!
I always hate to say this, but my ‘least favorite’ which was based on the number of stars given was The Sacrifice by Indrajit Garai. This was a shorter book made of three short stories.

[Top]Our June 2023 Reads!
We are at the end of June and are here to share our June reads with you today! Everyone have a great July 4th weekend and I hope you have a nice long weekend. I won’t as I’ll be working Monday since the local government I work for only gets the actual holiday off.
Kim:
Kim is slowly getting back into reading and adjusting to ‘new mommy’ life. Hopefully she’ll be back to reviews soon! Here are her June reads:
Jessica
I read 9 books in total for June: Four audiobooks, three short stories on audio, one kindle book, and one I read in paperback AND audio! This was also the month of memoirs as I read three.
Hello Stranger by Katherine Center- 4 stars
33 Unplayed Voicemails by Melissa de la Cruz- 3 stars
Pageboy by Elliot Page- 3 stars
The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens- 4 stars
The Five Year Hitch by Melissa de la Cruz- 4 stars
The Summer Melt by Emily March- 3 stars
Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey- 5 stars
Burnt: A Memoir of Fighting Fire by Clare Frank- 4 stars
The Chaperone by M. Hendrix- I finished this one yesterday and still taking it in. It should be 4-4.5 stars once I decide!
My favorite read was Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. This one MUST be listened to on audio as he narrates it himself! If you are a fan of his at all do pick this one up!
My least favorite was 33 Unplayed Voicemails by Melissa de la Cruz. I was just so frustrated by this short story!
