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.
This month I’ve read:
The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon; The Elites by Natasha Ngan; The Duff by Kody Keplinger; The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa; The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa; Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire; The Distance Between Us by Kasie West; Losing It by Cora Carmack; Faking It by Cora Carmack; The Infinite Moment of Us by Lauren Myracle; All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill; The Weight of Water by Sarah Crossan; Keeping Her by Cora Carmack; All the Truth That’s in Me by Julie Berry; Shadowhunter’s Guide: City of Bones by Mimi O’Connor; Confessions of an Almost-Girlfriend by Louise Rozett; Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein; Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein; United We Spy by Ally Carter.
..That’s nineteen books in total!
Next month I’m hoping to read:
The Killing Woods by Lucy Christopher which looks fab! The cover is absolutely gorgeous, too.
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
2. Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
3. The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

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.![My Profile](http://queenofcontemporary.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)
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 🙂![My Profile](http://queenofcontemporary.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)
