That's a good crop. I'm always impressed by the amount of books you read in a month. I wish! ;-) Looking forward to your upcoming reviews.
ReplyDeleteAnd I managed to finish the month with only four not yet reviewed!
DeleteYou've had another wonderful month of reading!! The Mars Room sounds terrific and has been added to my reading wishlist.
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait to hear how you like it.
DeleteAnother great month for you! Too hot there for anything else. The temps in the desert are just crazy. I won't be visiting the state till Oct. I wish you some cooler temps in August & more great reads.
ReplyDeleteYou are wise to stay away. The other day my A/C stopped working and I nearly lost it. Luckily I got it fixed the next morning.
DeleteWe just downloaded All the Presidents Men, hope to watch that soon.
ReplyDeleteYou had a nice month with many interesting reads (a few on my TBR list too).
I will be interested to hear what you thought about the movie. Reading is being very good to me these days.
DeleteYou picked a good one as a favorite. The Mars Room was an amazing book. I remember reading Blind Descent several years ago and suffering severe claustrophobia. When we visited Carlsbad Caverns a few years later, I did my best to exorcise those particular demons.
ReplyDeleteIt was incredible how well Nevada Barr wrote about Anna's claustrophobia. Fortunately you got to go and face it down!
DeleteThank you Judy - I wish you happy reading in August too :-)
