After some time off I'm back with my August reading wrap-up. I read 13 books in August, plus 10 short stories, and started two more books that I'm still reading. I'll post the short stories in a separate book club post instead of including them here.
Love for the Spinster (Women of Worth #2) by Kasey Stockton
4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Romance, Clean Romance, Historical Romance
Content: Clean
This was my pick it for me book. I was looking forward to reading more in this series and I ended up really enjoying this one, so much so that after I was done with this book, I read the rest of the series.
Nightfall (The Kingfall Histories #4) by David Estes
4.5 of 5 stars
I loved this book and am excited to get to the last book in the series, hopefully within the next couple of months.
Review to come.
Love in the Wager (Women of Worth #4) by Kasey Stockton
3.5 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Romance, Clean Romance, Historical Romance
Content: Clean
I started this series out of order and had already read book 3, so I skipped down to book 4. This was another good book, but it was a bit slow at first.
Love in the Ballroom (Women of Worth #5) by Kasey Stockton
4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Romance, Clean Romance, Historical Romance
Content: Clean
The last book in the series and one of my favorites. I'm going to miss this series, but I'm looking forward to moving onto a new one by this author in a couple of months.
Curtain (Hercule Poirot #33) by Agatha Christie
3 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Mystery
Content: Clean
This was a bitter-sweet end to the series. I was surprised at something in this book, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Since I read this series a little out of order, this isn't the last book I have to read. I skipped The Big Four because I heard negative things about it, so I'll be reading it last. Then I'll get to all the short stories.
Sanctuary (Roman's Chronicles #1) by Ilona Andrews
3 of 5 stars
Review to come.
Time of the Twins (Dragon Lance Legends #1) by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Fantasy
Content: Clean
I enjoyed this reread. I originally gave this 4 stars and I'm keeping my rating the same. I was surprised at how much I had forgotten about this book, or remembered differently.
Garden of the Midnights by Hannah Linder
4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Romance, Clean Romance, Historical Romance
Content: A character is kidnapped and treated very roughly
I've read a lot of Regency romance and I've read a lot of romantic suspense, but this is the first time I've read a Regency romantic suspense novel. It was different from what I was expecting, mainly that it included some traumatic events that I wasn't expecting in a Regency book. Nothing too dark or disturbing though. I'm not sure how historically accurate some of this book is, but I liked it.
A Deceptive Composition (Lady Darby #12) by Anna Lee Huber
4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Mystery

This was another good installment. Nothing surprising or new, just a nice familiar comfy read.
