August 2025 Book Haul

In August, I hauled 3 books, which is what happens on a month where I'm basically not reading at all. I spent $8.71 on my monthly Audible subscription (which I've now paused) and saved $58.27 by using my local library. I have read all 3 book hauled in August and my ratio has improved to 85%. 

LIBRARY BOOKS

1. Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Audio)
2. Only Say Good Things by Crystal Hefner (Audio)
3. Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood (Audio)

September 2025 TBR

Update for last month:  I read a majority of the books for the month in the first full week and then read nothing after the 12th. So I didn't really get through much. Granted I did still finish 5 books and that's great, but I just needed a break.

Goals for this month: In September, I'm recycling my full August TBR List because I didn't read them. (shrug)

My TBR for September:

• Well, Actually by Mazey Eddings (Kindle/Review)
• First Time Caller by B.K. Borrison (Physical) 
• Cat Daddy by Jackson Galaxy (Kindle)
• The School for Good & Evil by Soman Chainani (Kindle) 

What are you planning on reading in September?
