August turned out to be a fab bookish month. I completed the 20 Books of Summer challenge which helped with my reading/listening total of 16 this month. This includes lots of short stories on audio via Spotify and the Audible Plus catalogue.
Favourites
I enjoyed all of the books I read and listened to this month, but these were my stand out favourites. ICYMI here are my reviews for Breaking The Dark and Another Time, Another Place
