August 2023 TBR list: last month I read 5 books, which is 1 below my Average of 6 books. I have not made a to be read list in two months due to overtime at work. But now I’m back at it and have some great books to read this month. I’m just adding 4 books to my TBR but hope to read a lot more.

Fairy Tale by Stephen King is a modern day fairy tale, with some elements of horror thrown in.  Fairy Tale is a bout a teenager being let in on a secret portal to another land by a dying man.  Some of the reviews are saying this is one of his better books in the last couple of years.  I’ve read 12 Stephen King books since I started this blog and can’t wait to see where this book ends up.  I’m a pretty big Stephen King fan and read at least one of his books a year.

I Have Some Questions for You by Rebecca Makkai is a mystery/thriller about a film professor that gets invited to teach a course at her old college. The college where her roommate was murdered.
