August 2019 TBR

These are the books I am hoping to read in August. I do have a week in Jersey and a long ferry trip over and back so am aiming to get some serious amounts of reading in.

    Oh, you’re reading The Seafarers, too? My Shiny review comes out this week and I’ll share thoughts on it then but I really enjoyed it and rated it very highly.

      Thought it was very good too, but didn’t quite have the oomph to make it five stars. Not sure why though.

        Ah, that’s where I commented about Seafarers! Doh! Yes, I think I’d give it 4.5 stars if I gave it stars, also not sure why.
