Posted on by whatcathyreadnext

I read fifteen books in August and this was another month when I read so many great books it was tough to whittle down my list to just five. Links from each title will take you to my review. You can find a list of all the books I’ve read so far in 2021 here.  If we’re not already friends on Goodreads, send me a friend request or follow my reviews.

The Girl Who Fell From The Sky by Simon Mawer – a compelling, action-packed story set in World War 2 occupied France
A Line To Kill (Hawthorne & Horowitz Mystery #3) by Anthony Horowitz – a clever, witty crime mystery set on the island of Alderney
End of Summer by Anders de la Motte – a compelling and insightful mystery
The Hidden Child by Louise Fein – a beautifully written, moving story about overcoming prejudice (full review to follow for blog tour)
The Unfortunate Englishman by John Lawton – a classy, perfectly paced Cold War spy thriller set in Berlin and Moscow

What books were your favourites in August? Have you read any of my picks?

  1. I am amazed – you read 15 books! And I see that you read 17 in July – how do you manage it?!! I enjoyed A Line To Kill too and I’m glad to see that you found The Girl Who Fell from the Sky so compelling – it’s been sitting on my TBR shelves for years. I must dig it out and read it soon.

    1. How did I manage 15 books in August? Being retired, an understanding husband who knows not to disturb me when I’m reading, plus trying to complete the 20 Books of Summer reading challenge helped! Also, to be fair, some were books I’d already started at the end of July. I do hope you enjoy The Girl Who Fell from the Sky as much as I did.
