This month I'll be hiding indoors away from any heatwaves and the angry wasps in our garden and concentrating on some reading. Authorfest is all about those new to me authors that I keep saying I'll try but never seem to get round to! I've selected a wide range to read in different genres but none of them are authors I've read before so it should be exciting! This is my list and I'll try to read as many as I can this month!
Red is for what I read in the first week, green in the second week, blue for the third and purple the fourth week. I hadn't intended to read the second Murderbot novella this month but I liked the first and decided to squeeze the second one in. Week 3 started well and I got a few squeezed in and a couple of DNFs! With the challenge over I'm happy enough with what I got through and I'm bumping the horror books for my Spooky Booky Month in October and Illuminae and Damoren to my November New-To-Me Challenge.

Wow, that's great. Did you like Demon With a Comb-Over? I just grabbed The Cabin at the End of the World from the library yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I thought of it to be honest! I liked bits but other bits annoyed me including Charlie. But I did finish it so that's a good sign!
DeleteI just blogged my wrapup post. 15 new authors read in August including my Book of the Month! Thank you for a great challenge :-)
