I decided rather than do a weekly IMM I wanted to create a monthly post that combines the books I receive with a look back on the month. A post to talk about everything that has happened book wise - so any books I receive for review or buy, any bookish events I attend, what I've read, reviewed and so on.
I'm still playing catchup with these posts so here is my Month in Books for August.
Read in August:
I am still on my Contemp kick (will it even end?) So anyway, my highlights were:
52 Reasons to Hate my Father by Jessica Brody - so so good! I'm really loving Jessica Brody's books! Also, a proof copy of Unremembered was sent to the bookshop I work in and I LOVED it. It's not out until March 2013 so a bit of a wait but definitely mark it on your wish list!
Easy by Tammara Webber - this was recommended to me by Kerrie @ Read and Repeat and I really loved it! I'm pleased to hear that Penguin has picked it up and are publishing it in January 2013.
Raw Blue by Kirsty Eagar - I had heard so many great things about this book I started to wonder if it could ever live up to my expectations for it, but it really did. A brilliant book!
You can see (if you so desire!) everything I read in August here.

Awesome selection as usual Sammee - I really want to come round to your house and raid your shelves LOL. I must buy a copy of Raw Blue - you and Kirsty keep raving about that one! I also really want to buy Easy but I think I'll wait until January & buy the Penguin copy.
Have you read the Noughts & Crosses series? I've only read the first book so really should make an effort to finish that series :o)
Oooooh I've got 52 Reasons to Hate my Father on my Christmas list but I might crack and buy it myself sooner!x
