August Read!!!!

Starting my August with The Messy Lives of Book People by Phaedra Patrick. I saw this book in Barnes & Noble and the cover definitely drew me in. I read the back of the book and it sparked my interest even more. My goal is to read three books this month, if I read more cool but no pressure.
