Books that I read for fun in August

Over the last year and a half, I started documenting the books that I read for fun (and not just for review purposes).  I have decided that I need to continue that as reading is important part of how I relax. Books that I read for fun are books that I have not been asked to review and that I have chosen to read, well because I like to read. In 2015, I read a total of 49 books! This year, 2016, I am aiming to read 52 books...Not including this month I have read 43 books so there is a good chance I will meet this goal! 

So....What did I read in August?: 

After getting the recommendation of "Me Before You" by a couple of readers back in May (Thanks Jill and Anne in the Kitchen!) I was finally able to get the book at the library. I reserved it back in May and it just got to me! I am so glad they recommended it as it was fantastic! Definitely a tear-jerker, but overall a great book! I would highly recommend it.  I would also recommend the author Mary Kay Andrews, if you want to read a fun story but with some intrigue and romance.  Not all the books that I read this month were great though. "Yankee Doodle Dixie" was a hard book for me to get into. It just seemed to drag on but I was able to read all of it. Maybe it is the author's style, but it just wasn't for me. "Coming Up for Air" was okay but not really great.
