a month of reading: AUGUST 2025
August was such a great month! I picked up books I’d been meaning to get to, rediscovered a series I almost gave up on, and even squeezed in one last read just in time. And of course, I celebrated my first bookstagram anniversary! 🥳
Here are some of my reading highlights:
✨ My favorite reads this month were Rewind It Back by Liz Tomforde and Madonna in a Fur Coat by Sabahattin Ali. I would gladly recommend both to everyone.
✨ I finally finished the Ravenhood series by Kate Stewart, and I was so surprised by how much I loved it since I abandoned it halfway back in 2022. I’m so glad I gave it another chance!
✨ On the very last day of August, I managed to squeeze in The Cruel Prince. I’m excited to continue the rest of the series and to read more of Cardan and Jude 🤭
