August 2020 Book Wrap Up

The following entries are all audiobooks because they’re perfect to keep me preoccupied in these times.

Almost all the books in this post are also my favorites. I say “almost” because there’s one book that I think I’ve already outgrown. It used to be in my “Favorites” folder, but I don’t know. I realized that I didn’t enjoy listening to it now. I guess no more extraordinarily rich guys falling for a commoner stories for now.

Anyway, without further ado, here are the books I finished last month:

  • Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas – This is a reread, and it still remains a favorite.
  • The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm by the Grimm Brothers – This is the translation of the very first version of the Grimm Brothers’ tales. A lot of the stories here make no sense and repetitive. However, I still like it a lot, and I appreciate that these stories helped inspire a lot of other stories which we now know and love.
  • Smut by Karina Halle – This is a reread, and I still like it. The narrators are really excellent.

  • The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni – Another reread! One the best books ever!
  • The British Knight by Louise Bay – The only book that I didn’t like enough and I’ve outgrown.
  • Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata – Very queer but relatable all the same. This is a new favorite!
