Yup, another month has passed us by. Four left until we move into 2022. I'm happy with my reading progress this year. According to Goodreads, which tracks the books I've read, I'm 13 books ahead of schedule (I had proposed reading 115 books this year). August was satisfactory. I didn't read as many as previous months, but having said that, I'm working through to fairly hefty tomes that I keep putting aside to finish shorter books. I hope to finish both in September. So with that preamble, here is my reading summary.
