Sunday Salon: August Reading Reflections

The other day I was on Twitter when someone tweeted that it is only 4 months until Christmas! How can that possibly be? How can it be August already? In some ways that isn't a bad thing. I am ready for winter to be over and as such the days are starting to get longer. I even left work in almost daylight a couple of days last week!

On the reading front, it was another pretty good month in July. Here's what I read:
