August Authorfest Update 2

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!

After a poor first week with only two read, this is my newest update which includes everything I've read or DNFed over the first half of the challenge. 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've read 2 full novels, 2 novellas and DNFed 2 books. Better! 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!
