This month I ended up finishing one book I started at the end of June, reading 8 whole novels, one book of 20 short stories, and 10 individual short stories. I had one DNF, and three books I've started and am still in the middle of reading. One of them is my August Pick it for me book that I started reading early. I'm not going to say what that one is yet but it will be included in my August reading list.
Teckla (Vlad Taltos #3) by Steven Brust
3 of 5 stars
The third to be published, this is actually the fifth entry in the timeline of the Vlad Taltos books.
I had put this series on hold for a while, but some we decided to pick up where we left off with the buddy read in chronological order of the series. I actually forgot to add this one to my reading list last month. I started it at the end of June and finished it the first week of July.
The Lost Husband by Katherine Center
4 of 5 stars
Review to come.
The Five Rings by Zack Argyle
3.5 of 5 stars
This was an enjoyable free short story from the author's website.
How it Unfolds (The Far Reaches #1) by James S.S. Corey
3 of 5 stars
An enjoyable short story but not as good as I was hoping it would be.
The Long Game (The Far Reaches #4) by Ann Leckie
3 of 5 stars
I was really into this short story at first but the ending fell flat.
Summer Frost (Forward Collection #2) by Blake Crouch
2 of 5 stars
Disappointing short story. Most other people seem to have really liked this one, but I found it predictable. I disliked all the characters.
The Void (The Far Reaches #2) by Veronica Roth
2.5 of 5 stars
This short story wasn't bad, but as space mysteries go, it was rather boring.
You Have Arrived At Your Destination (Forward Collection #4) by Amor Towles
3 of 5 stars
This short story kept me engaged through most of it, but for me, it left too many questions unanswered to be a satisfying story. Also, I didn't care for the narrator.
Randomize (Forward Collection #6) by Andy Weir
2 of 5 stars
I didn't care for this short story. It just seemed rather pointless.
Signal Moon by Kate Quinn
4 of 5 stars
This ended up being my favorite of all the short stories I listened to. This is similar to the 2000 movie Frequency.
Elephants Can Remember (Hercule Poirot #36) by Agatha Christie

Ratings for both 3 of 5 stars.
