August has been a really good month for me. I’ve been off school for the month and have got lots of reading done. In one week, I even read eight books! Wow! I’m trying another format for this months wrap up post so I would love to hear your feedback.

..That’s nineteen books in total!
Next month I’m hoping to read:

Night School by C.J. Daugherty because I need to read more UKYA.
Dead Jealous by Sharon Jones for the same as above.
Things happening in September:
The second UKYA chat is planned for Friday 13th September at 6:30 PM BST. I’d love to see you all there! Anyone can join in, you don’t have to be a blogger. Authors, bloggers and readers come along for a chat! I have a lot of fun things planned.
I’m busy planning the UKYA author blog tour in November and lots of other upcoming UKYA events. Very exciting!
Best books of August:
1. Losing It by Cora Carmack

1 September, 2013 at 4:24 amSeems like you had a great month. I had a shocking one due to reading only 4 books. But I just had so many assignments I just couldn’t read…hopefully it’ll be better for next month. I really want to read The Bone Season and I’m so happy because Sunny grabbed me a copy at the Bloomsbury event. It got very good reviews.
You had a great month!

Wow I thought 9 was good but 19 is like woah! I wish I could read more but sadly I’ve been at school for 7 weeks and haven’t had the chance to read more then 9. You read some awesome books and I also read The Iron Daughter & Iron Queen (plus the rest of the series), and The Distance Between Us this month. I have 4 copies of The Bone Season and I’m getting All Our Yesterdays. Need United We Spy and The Elite. You read so many good books. Excited for UKYA! Have a great September 🙂

Wow! You’ve had an absolutely amazing month in reading, Lucy! I read and enjoyed The Distance Between Us and All Our Yesterdays as well. I’m also really looking forward to The Killing Woods! It sounds like a perfect book for Autumn.
