6. Renegades - Marissa Meyer
7. Flygirl - Sherri L. Smith (such a good book!)
8. Dread Nation - Justina Ireland
9. Eidolon - Taylor Sisson
10. Piratica - Tanith Lee

Goal for the next five books is more than two words for a title! :p

I managed a paltry 7 books in July due to being very busy at work. So I'm still behind my target of 130 but there's plenty of time left in the year so I'm confident of making it up. I did, at least, manage 2 YA books though. So. There's that:


  1. Heartstream by Tom Pollock.
  2. Teen Pioneers – Young People Who Have Changed The World by Ben Hubbard.
  3. Hope For The Best by Jodi Taylor.
  4. AI For Marketing And Product Innovation by A K Pradeep, Andrew Appel and Stan Sthanunathan.
  5. Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson.
  6. The Alt-Right: What Everyone Needs To Know by George Hawley.
  7. The Dog Who Saved The World by Ross Welford.

Damn! Foiled again!

I managed a more respectable 9 books in August, 3 of which were YA. I don't think I'm going to hit my target of 130 for the year just because of the way my time has gone. 120 seems more doable.


  1. Speak Up! by Laura Coryton.
  2. Amelia Fang And The Half-Moon Holiday by Laura Ellen Anderson.
  3. Cross Purpose by Claire MacLeary.
  4. Bitter Pills: The Global War On Counterfeit Drugs by Muhammad H. Zaman.
  5. The Boxer by Nikesh Shukla.
  6. The Boy Who Steals Houses by C. G. Drews.
  7. Rose, Interrupted by Patrice Lawrence.
  8. Master Your Mind by Roger Seip and Robb Zbierski.
  9. The Demons Of Liberal Democracy by Adrian Pabst.
