August reads were pretty sparse for my typical amount due to a return to work and big time added stress of a more than doubled courseload. September is shaping up to be just as sparse. I’ve finished only one book thus far, 50% of which I read in August. 😬

Already excited just from reading the Dear Reader letter. Loved hearing what the author set out to do in building this particular story.
