My August Reading List is heavy on ARC's and a couple of new books by favorite authors are also on the list. The first week finds me home alone, as hubby heads to summer camp with 20 Junior age kids. Then we are heading back to the Colorado River for our last trip with friends and family. The last week of August will see hubby heading to Seattle to help with the driving with his sister and brother in law as they return to Houston. I will spend a lot of beach days reading and riding my bike on Hermosa Beach.

message 11: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 2090 comments Good list. You reminded me of two series I forgot about

Catherine Coulter I think I'm behind four or five books.
Alexander Ivy I read the first book in The Agency series and never got back to it.


message 12: by Anita (new)

Anita (anitanodiva) | 4015 comments Thank you, Sharon! I know, it's the age old dilemma: so many books, so little time.


message 13: by Robin (new)

Robin (robinmy) | 3478 comments Nice list! My library offered me the latest Lyssa Kay Adams book and I had to ask them to move it back a couple of weeks. Can't wait to hear what you think of it.


message 14: by Anita (new)

Anita (anitanodiva) | 4015 comments Thank you, Robin! Isn't It Bromantic? is about The Russian and it had me howling with laughter on the first page, now it has settled into a Russian morass of emotions. But, never fear, the Bromance Book Club comes to the rescue.


message 15: by Laura (new)

Laura Enjoy your alone time, ( and your books) . They look good.


message 16: by Anita (new)

Anita (anitanodiva) | 4015 comments Thank you, Laura! I don't know how much "alone" time I'll get, my kids and grandkids already have plans for me. They don't want Grammy to be lonely!
