August 2024 To Be Read

The experiment didn't seem to change much. I still read 6-9 books. So I'm going to go back to the TBR listing! These are the books that I've already got started or are just next up on the lists. I'm hoping to get at least mostly through them before September starts and the Orilium Magical Readathon. 

Physical

1. Leather & Lark by Brynne Weaver - The second book in the Ruinous Love trilogy. I have been looking forward to this book for a long time and I cannot wait to dig into it. I adored Rowan and Sloane's story, so I'm hoping to at least enjoy Lachlann and Lark's.

2. Fall, or Dodge in Hell by Neal Stephenson - It's another book I started in June that I'd like to get through before the end of the year. It's only 800+ pages. I can do that. The premise intrigued me. A dude gets dead and now there is some kind of battle over what will happen to his brain/mind.

3. A Journey of the Heart by Brenda Benning - I got this one from the author and it does look interesting. It is outside my normal genres that I go to, but I don't think it will be all that bad. The FMC is about a decade younger than me, so I think I'll be able to understand her better. 

Digital

4. Malediction's Embrace by Candace Morris - This is a review copy I got from Candace that I've already started, but I haven't gotten far into it and I cannot remember the synopsis at all. It is a fantasy novel, I think? I don't know.

5. In the Days Before by Renée Shantel - Another eARC I received from the author. I'm looking forward to finishing it and maybe getting the review up this month or next. It's not out until October, but hey, we can always dream, right? 

Audio

6. Truly, Madly, Deeply by Alexandria Bellefleur - There was no logic here. I just grabbed it at random. I had no audiobooks currently active, so I picked one. This one that I had requested from NetGalley and got declined, but then I got it for myself on Audible. Presently I don't remember more than there being a bookworm and a dude that looks like Steve Harrington. I hope I like it?
