August 2014 Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started August with 240 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …240! This month feels like it kicked my butt, y’all, especially in terms of the numbers of actual, physical, non-graphical books that I read. No matter how prepared for the start of the school year I think I am, it’s always a rush of preparation right before (two weeks before, this year), and the start of the semester just always kicks my butt. I have managed to tear through a bunch of audiobooks, but I just haven’t had the time or the mental energy to settle down and actually read non-textbook books all that much. Here’s hoping September calms down at least a little and I can get some real reading done!

…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Audiobooks – Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers – Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers – Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi
Read But Not Owned (Books) – Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
Read But Not Owned (Graphic Novels) – Rust, Vol. 3: Death of the Rocket Boy by Royden Lepp – Ex Machina, Vol. 2: Tag by Brian K. Vaughan – Fairest, Vol. 3: Return of the Maharaja by Sean E. Williams – Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children: The Graphic Novel by Ransom Riggs – The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects by Mike Mignola
Re-Reads – Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs – Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold – Calling on Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

Changes to the TBR pile

Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt – Hollow City by Ransom Riggs

Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!)
– Dr. Mütter’s Marvels: A True Tale of Intrigue and Innovation at the Dawn of Modern Medicine by Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz	– The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo
Non-TBR acquisitions (storage-space-related shame!)
– Cinder by Marissa Meyer
