Hello bookworms and welcome back to Josie’s Book Corner! We are now in our third day of September, and I think it’s about time that I wrap up August and tell you all about the books I read this month!
I’m ashamed to say that I only read three books this month! Ah! It was a challenging and overwhelming month for me, to the point where I couldn’t read as much as I hoped to. However, the books that I DID read were high-quality and AMAZING. So let’s jump right in, shall we?
How many books did I read from my TBR?
✓ The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
✓ Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J Maas
✓ The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
Yes… I only read three books, but I managed to get half of my TBR for August complete! I’m going to look at this situation with the glass half-full. I am very happy that I stuck to my TBR and completed three very amazing books. I’m currently reading The Assassin’s Blade right now, and will be starting Mistborn soon, hopefully!
But wait… you want to know what I thought about these books I finished? Keep reading!
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
The Knife of Never Letting Go blew me away with it’s unique story and world and the amazing plight of a young 12-year-old boy named Todd. After reading A Monster Calls, I knew I had to pick up more of Ness’s work. I picked this one and gosh darn I’m happy I picked this one.
The Knife of Never Letting Go is a sci-fi, futuristic, coming-of-age novel that will make you laugh, make you cry and make you gasp with shock.
I gave this book: ☆☆☆☆☆ stars!

Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon
I received this as an arc from Netgalley, and gosh I am so glad that I did. Everything Everything is the story of a teenage girl by the name of Madeline, who has a disease that causes her to be allergic to everything outside.
It’s very unique with beautiful writing and an adorable romance. However, it does not just focus on romance. It highlights themes of life, family love and loss. I believe it’s a must read for everyone, and you must try it at least once!

The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
The Wrath and the Dawn is an electric, whimsically written re-telling of A Thousand and One Nights. It’s a romance-orientated novel with a strong female protagonist and a swoon-worthy, brooding and troubles male protagonist.
And not only that, it’s got incredible pacing, awesome side characters and the most suspenseful ending that will leave you screaming for the next book! Can you tell that I adored this book?

That’s it for this month’s wrap up! Despite reading only three books, they were some of the three best books I’ve read all year! So, I’d say reading three great books is better than 20 mediocre books, don’t you think?!
