This month was a strange month of reading for me. I read two really incredible books, but some of the other books I read left me feeling like I was simply going through the motions and waiting for them to end.

Not mentioned in this video are the 4 books (yes 4!) that I picked up, read the first 5-10 pages, and immediately put back down. I won't call these DNFs, because at that rate, you have to acknowledge "it's not you, it's me."

What is the best book you read this month?
