It’s been a month of preparations. Spending every spare minute, planning and then putting those plans into motion. And, on top of that, it’s been high summer, with days at the pool, and the garden ripening, and just being so, so very lazy.

I love this time of year. So: my favorite this month?

With Malice

So, so very good.  And a good adult crossover, too; I sold it to one of our regular customers who was fed up with the extra blather in adult fiction. She loved it as well, which made me very happy.

As for the rest:

Middle Grade

The BFG
Towers Falling
The Witches
The Twits

Adult Fiction

A Gathering of Shadows
Smoke
The Magicians (DNF)
And Then There Were None

What were your favorites this month?
