I was all geared up for this to be an amazing reading month but I had a small reading slump after reading Harry Potter and the the Cursed Child and a really big slump that lasted almost 2 weeks after reading A Darker Shade of Magic (that was more due to life situations). I had planned on participating in the Bout of Books readathon but that 2nd slump kind of messed that up. Now I'm way behind on my reading goals and will need to catch up in September but it will be my birthday month and I'm sure I will be busy for a few days in there somewhere so we shall see how I do! I still read 2 books more than I did in July so it wasn't a total fail month at least.

How did you guys do on your goals this month? What was your favorite book?
Reading two more than last month should count as a win! Sorry you had a bit of a reading slump though. I hope September is fantastic. I feel like September might be a bit slow for me with vacation and then starting a new job. I need to find different times to get reading in! However, I did get a lot of September ARCS read and reviewed in August so that's helpful.
