I wasn’t sure if I could read all of the books on my TBR, but I achieved it. Please don’t ask me how I don’t know! And I had time to read one more book. So let’s go for the Olympus TBR game for August!
Prompts for August
In July, I didn’t use my bonus card either for this Olympus TBR or during the month, so I still have my two cards: re-roll (for when I play Olympus TBR) and change a book (for the month.)
The books for August
Book 1
Godess: Artemis
Prompt: Read a green book
Pick: The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen (publisher: Random House Graphic)
Why: This book is made for this prompt; it’s difficult to say otherwise.
Book 2
Monster: Cyclopean wall-builders
Prompt: Read a book from a series that is more than 400 pages
Pick: Soulbinder by Sebastien De Castell (publisher: Hot Key Books)
Why: The book is 431 pages which are 31 more than 400, and it’s the fourth book of the Spellslinger series.
Book 3
God: Zeus
Prompt: Read a book with an award
Pick: The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan (publisher:Puffin)
Why: This book received in 2016 the Goodreads Choice Award for Middle Grade & Children’s.
Book 4
God: Poseidon
Prompt: Read a book sets on an island
Pick: The Road Trip by Beth O’Leary (publisher: Quercus)
Why: The book is set in the north of Scotland, and Scotland is on an island and composed of islands.
Book 5
God: Zeus
Prompt: Read a book that is 4 stars or more on Goodreads
Pick: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (Publisher: Ecco)
Why: I’m dying to read this book, and on Goodreads, the average rating is 4.41 out of 5.
Book 6
God: Ares
Prompt: Read a dark story
Pick: The Sentence is Death by Anthony Horowitz (publisher: Harper)
Why: This is a crime/mystery story. Do I need to explain it more?
Those are the six books that I will read for August, which equal the small amount of 2,159 pages. It’s more than last month, but I hope that I can read them all as the week of the 9th of August I will have my birthday and on the weekend I am not home so I will not read.
Don’t hesitate to share the books that you want to read this month or give your thoughts about these books if you have already read them.
Liz.
