Books are my Social Life (musahobooks) | The 7 books I read in August @booksaremysociallife | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Welcome to my August reading wrap up. In this video I talk about the seven books I read in August! I started the month off with Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, which I really enjoyed but which I felt could have expanded a bit more on the "woman in the attic" storyline. This is why I read Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, which serves as a prequel to Jane Eyre, and is a West Indian classic.

I also read Samantha Harvey's Orbital, which is on the longlist of this year's Booker Prize. Celeste Mohammed's Pleasantview was another reading highlight this month, one of my new favourite works of Trinidadian contemporary fiction. Finally, I cap this video off with three books I borrowed from the library: Rivers Solomon's The Deep and two graphic novels which were The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen and The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick.
