August List

All in all, July was a pretty successful month despite some intense projects due at the end of my semester. I managed to finish of 15 books. A hefty number of graphic novels in there but I also managed to polish off the entire batch of new tbr.co recommendations. I didn't really fall in love with any of my reads this month but all of them were good in their own way. Of the group The Sol Majestic by Ferrett Steinmetz was probably my favorite. 

This month, I'm shaking up the list. Over half of the titles are fresh picks and there's a hefty dose of professional reading and nonfiction. Once the new semester starts I'll have to add in some titles for class.
