In August I made up for my slacking in July 🙂

To start the month, I read A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff.  It was an interesting story about loss, grief and forgiveness.  Though the actual plot felt like that was almost secondary to the descriptions of vintage clothing.  I enjoyed the descriptions of the vintage clothing, as it is a fondness of mine.

In the middle of August, I read the Paris Vendetta by Steve Berry.  It’s the 5th book in the Cotton Malone series.  I really enjoy Steve Berry’s books and I’ve read them all to date.  I really enjoyed the book and there were actually some events I didn’t anticipate, which was a nice change for me.  Normally when I read action or mystery books I figure it out early in the story.  I didn’t have it all figured out, which I loved.

To wrap up the month, I read Rework by Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson of 37signals.  I’d heard a lot of good things about the book.  It was pretty good, but nothing in the book really felt revolutionary to me.  Of course I didn’t read it for a revolutionary experience, so it met my expectations.

I’ve also been listening to Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk.  I’m really enjoying it, but it doesn’t count towards my goal :)  I’ll probably do a separate post on that!
