August was a pretty good month. Four of the books I read this month were ARCs and I enjoyed all of them. I continued by first read-through of the First Law trilogy, by completing Before They Are Hanged and I completed my Goodreads goal to read 100 books this year. With all of that being said, let's get into the books I read in August.
