August Reads
I read a few "new" books from the library in August, knowing that once September arrived, I would be unable to read much at all.
Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger 8/4/2013
Good - Chick Lit 381 pages Format: Print
10 years after Andy Sachs quit her job with Miranda Priestley of Runway magazine, she is successful and happy editing her own celebrity bridal magazine, but now Miranda is back in her life.
I didn't remember enough about The Devil Wears Prada to really get into this sequel. It was diverting anyway.
The Silver Star by Jeannette Walls 8/4/2013
Excellent - Fiction 267 pages Format: Print
Liz and Bean's mother abandons them in California so they trek to her hometown in Virginia to stay with their uncle.
Really enjoyed this one - creative and unpredictable, yet uplifting.

Excellent - Fiction 374 pages Format: Print
Dr. Mike Scanlon is on the battlefield in Afghanistan when his wife dies alone at home. How can he pick up the pieces of his life and care for his baby girl?
Riveting and interesting.
The Bridegroom Wore Plaid by Grace Burrowes 8/25/2013
Good - Romance 384 pages Format: Kindle

Good - Inspirational 199 pages Format: Print
