For 2025 I have decided to have a go at Spell the Month in Books which is hosted at Reviews From the Stacks. The link party opens on the first Saturday of the month, but I won't be posting until after that as I already have other things scheduled every Saturday and for the first two Sundays of the month. I will be sharing this post with Sunday Salon hosted at Readerbuzz.
The idea is that you use the titles of books to spell the month name. The theme for August is Written by your favorite author(s). To be honest, the two U's in this month have made this a bit tricky. Thankfully these are the last U months for the year.
It is also Aussie August 2025 and so I have chosen to use only Australian authors. So here are my choices for August
Addition by Toni Jordan - I always love the sound of Toni Jordan's books. She has a new book coming out soon and again it sounds great! (My review)
Urn Burial by Kerry Greenwood - This is book number 8 in the Phryne Fisher mystery series. (My review)
Glitter Rose by Marianne de Pierres - This is a bit out of left field for me as I don't remember much about this short story collection. When I did read it, I gave it a 4.5 rating. (My review)
Undercover Billionaire by Amy Andrews - I had a lot of fun reading this book earlier this year. (My review)
Silver Wattle by Belinda Alexandra - I have really enjoyed the Belinda Alexandra books I have read! (My review)
The Tea Ladies by Amanda Hampson - I have read all three books in this series this year and I gave them all 4.5/5! (My review)
September's theme is Something to savor – longer books (define as you will) OR ones that have been on your TBR for a long time. The challenge for September is going to be finding three E books. That is three titles beginning with E, not three ebooks as I have hundreds of them on my Kindle
Will you be joining us?
This is great, Marg. You chose some good ones for August! September does sound like it will be more challenging title wise, but I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely come up with something! It's just a question of what!
DeleteI'm so glad you chose to focus on Aussie authors. I do not read enough books written by Australians.
ReplyDeleteThe cover and title of Addition looks intriguing!
I find all Toni Jordan's books interesting!
DeleteYou are so clever with the spell the month meme! I couldn't find a link for anyone hosting Aussie authors for August but I have read Charlotte McConaghy and loved her book. Also reading another of hers now.
ReplyDeleteI still need to read her.
DeleteThe hashtag on Instagram is #aussieaugust2025
I love that cover for Glitter Rose!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely isn't it!
DeleteI do think I will join you in September!
ReplyDeleteYay! I look forward to your post!
DeleteI have not decided if I will do September yet, but I agree, it will be hard to find 3 "E" books! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteGood thing that we like a challenge!
DeleteCongrats for making it, Marg. It's not always the same, some months are tougher than others. Especially if these letter appear more often. My biggest problem is always the Y but that's over for this year, as well. Hurrah!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my post:

Yes, Y could be tricky!
DeleteIt always is for me, somehow.
DeleteI like that you used Australian authors for this fun prompt!
ReplyDeleteI have another Aussie theme post coming up this week!
DeleteThanks for highlighting some Australian authors. I know there are a lot of good ones and I am keen to pick up more Aussie literature. And yes, two times "U"must have been challenging.
ReplyDeleteGot there in the end Stargazer!
