Reading Wrap-up for August at Moonshine and Rosefire

Hello everyone out there and I hope that you all had a terrific reading month for yourselves. I am known as Rosefire around the Internet and this is my new personal reading blog. I originally posted my reviews over at my daughter's blog, Emeraldfire's Bookmark but am now in the process of transferring them all over to my own blog. My daughter makes blogging look like so much fun that I thought that I would try it out for myself! :)

Anyway, I started out August with 629 unread books lying around the house and ended the month with 625 books unread. All of the books that I acquired this month came from Paperback Swap and a Library Book Sale that we went to on the 1st.

Let me try to break down the influx for you:

Changes to the TBR pile

Well, there it is...the breakdown! All in all, a very good reading month for me. Here's a further breakdown:

So, there you go! The reading month that was August. I hope that you all had an equally good reading month; if not a little better. :) See you all next month! :)
