When I was thinking of my August TBR list, I couldn’t really decide on any particular theme. My mind kept wandering to my large NetGalley list (I went a little overboard on the “read now” selections, oops!), to the couple of books I didn’t get to from previous months, as well as my remaining “20+1 For 2021” choices…not to mention all of the great books I’ve picked up recently and want to start before anything else! Where do I begin? How do I choose?
It was a toss-up, but thanks to some help from my son, I finally picked my must-read novel for August…
The premise sounds intriguing: a pandemic sweeps through Australia, with a strange symptom that gives people the ability to hear the thoughts of all animals, birds, and insects. The main character, Jean, and her pet dingo set off to find her young granddaughter and encounter the strange realities of this new world. I’m looking forward to this one.
July Update — Well, Idaho was pretty disappointing. I’m currently about one third of the way into California and it doesn’t look like it will be much better! And as for Travelers Rest? After reading the first ten pages or so, I put it back in my TBR pile, with no idea if or when I will return to it.
