So since I will be away for most of August and probably will not have time to read so that is why there is not too many books on the list. We shall see if I even manage to read one during August. Something In Between - Melissa De La Cruz The Au Pairs Series - Melissa De La Cruz The Four Legendary Kingdoms - Matthew Reilly (Jack West Jr. #4) Two Cabins, One Lake - Shaye Marlow (Alaskan Romance #1) The Gentleman's Guide To Vice & Virtue - Mackenzie Lee

This is the third book I have read by Kate Morton and I have to say that she is definitely one of my favourite authors. This book follows the same format that her other books (that I have read) follow. It's a historical romance mystery where half the book is memories of the past and half the book is set in the present with the protagonist trying to unravel the mystery of the past.

I also read the reviews of this book on goodreads before I started it and a lot of people were saying that they thought it was a bunch of nonsense and a few had a lot of laughs while reading it because the author is a little strange. However, if you can look past that then I think this book can be beneficial. You do not need to talk to your possessions if you do not want to though. No one will know. The premise of this book is 'if somet...
