Here are my tweet-style reviews of the books (and e-books) I've read so far in August. They divide themselves oh-so-tidily: half mystery and half young adult.
Blue Shoes and Happiness
by Alexander McCall Smith. Precious Ramotswe contemplates a diet, & fixes the problems of her clients & friends with her usual skill. #botswana (4 stars)The Stone Wife
by Peter Lovesey. I usually love Superintendent Diamond, but this book was... odd. And frankly absurd. Love the Bath setting though! #imissengland (3 stars)Dead Water
by Ann Cleeves. Still haven't quite forgiven Cleeves for BLUE LIGHTNING, but excited that Jimmy Perez is back. Renewed my obsession with Shetland. (4 stars)
Legend
by Marie Lu. Kicking myself for not reading this sooner. SO GOOD. Immediately tried to find next books at library, but wait list was ridiculous. #YA (5 stars)The Maze Runner
by James Dashner. "Butterflies swam in his gut." Which is both a horrible sentence AND sums up my feeling about this book. Sad I picked it for the YABMC. (1 star)Prodigy
by Marie Lu. Continues the story of June & Day in post-apocalyptic "Republic of America". A strong middle entry, glad my 1st e-book purchase was good. (4 stars)
