Wrap Up: August 2015

Hi

Well I had quite a reading month.

First, I wanted to read a lot of smaller books. My goal is to read 100 books by the 31^st of December so READING was the solution, and especially small books.

Because I was home from work (see Personal Update) for quite some time I had a lot of free time to read. And what else would I do if I have to keep to bed?

Secondly, I must confess I did arrange my reading a bit so that I could post a review every day by reading big books between a few smaller ones.

In the end I read a total of 19 books, 6825 pages or 359 pages per book.

Here are the ones I read:

• Robin Hobb: Renegade’s Magic
• Terry Pratchett: Going Postal
• Andy Weir: The Martian
• P. G. Wodehouse: Jeeves in the Offing
• Fiona McIntosh: King’s Wrath
• Jim Butcher: Storm Front
• M.L. Stedman: The Light between Oceans
• Ernest Hemingway: Winner Take Nothing
• Evelyn Waugh: The Loved One
• Charles Dickens: Great Expectations
• Shirley Jackson: We Have Always Lived in the Castle
• Ira Levin:The Stepford Wives
• Stephen King: Full Dark, No Stars
• Richard Matheson: I Am Legend
• Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter: The Long War
• Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter: The Long Mars
• Julian Barnes: Flaubert’s Parrot
• Karen Maitland: Company of Liars
• Michael Cunningham: The Snow Queen

And here’s the novel I didn’t finish:

• Maggie O’Farrell: Instructions for a Heatwave

Did you have a good reading month?

Happy reading!
