Bookery: An Update

August was a hard month for me, anxiety wise. I’m working more on it; I’ve added acupuncture, chiropractic and massage to my ever-growing list of attempts to relieve my issues, but in the meantime reading as an escape has always been my number one way to fight when life gets hard.

Maybe it’s not a surprise then that I read 20 books in August. Well, 19 if you count 2 halves of the two books I’m currently engaged in, but since I’m deep into them I count them for August because I won’t count them for September.

Here’s the breakdown:
12 ebook
8 audio

19 from the library
1 Audible

18 new
2 reread (the 2nd and 3rd of the Throne of Glass series)

19 fiction
1 memoir

I can’t count hours of audiobooks because on Overdrive they don’t show me the full amount of hours; it’s broken down by parts. Therefore I count pages for audio just like I do paper or ebooks.

6656 pages.

Goodreads star rating:
2 star – 2
3 star – 5
4 star – 9
5 star – 4

I hate the star rating – I wish so much that there were half stars.

I'm sorry that August was rough -- here's hoping September is more mellow.

So impressed by your reading progress. I love to read and yet... barely managed to read four books in August.
