The best book of the month was a re-read, It was just as marvelous as I remembered. <\/p>\n Comics<\/strong><\/p>\n Fables<\/strong> Fantasy<\/strong><\/p>\n The Lions of Al-Rassan<\/a> (1995) Guy Gavriel Kay (9.5\/10)<\/p>\n Audio Book<\/strong><\/p>\n Bangkok 8<\/a> audible version (2003\/2011) John Burdett narrated by Paul Boehmer (8.5\/10) Historical Mystery \/ Romance<\/strong><\/p>\n A Dangerous Madness<\/a> (2014) Michelle Diener (7.5\/10) And here’s the breakdown.<\/p>\n Lots of graphic novels lead to a higher than normal number of paper books read, and canning lead to a higher than normal number of audio book listened to. (I listen to about an audio book a month if it’s mostly lunch time walks. When I’m canning, audio books distract me from the heat and the sometimes monotonous tasks.)<\/p>\n Trade Paperback : 5 The high number of re-reads and multiple formats were primarily due to audio books.<\/p>\n A bit of variety this month in the genres I read.<\/p>\n Fantasy : 5 And gender-wise, women remained in the lead:<\/p>\n Male : 2 That gives brings the yearly percentages as such:<\/p>\n Male : 34% Not a bad month, especially consider that I did manage to get out quite a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A little late, but here are the books of August.
