Reading in August

It's incredible that we are already in August of this strange year we are having. I do not think anyone will forget 2020 in a hurry.

Last month I excitedly posted that our libraries were about to reopen. However, the local authority have decided to open only five in the county, and sadly, the one in my town is not one of them. Furthermore, there is no indication of when it might do so. Such a pity as I know so many people who were looking forward to it. I do understand why this decision has been made but I am disappointed nonetheless.

Never mind. I have a few books that I am looking forward to reading this month. How about you? What are you planning to read in August?
