AUGUST 2026 BOOKS

I didn’t get nearly as much reading in as I wanted to with how absolutely chaotic life has been lately. But even though I only read 9 books (okay, technically 10), most of them were solid 4- and 5-star reads. My book of the month actually goes to one I can’t even officially list yet, because it hasn’t been formally published (the author is currently working on getting it traditionally published). It was one of those pay-by-coin books you see floating around on social media. It’s called The Son of Red Fang and it’s going to be part of a series. Did I know that before I started it? Of course not—because apparently I love starting incomplete series.

This book was so beautifully written. There were a couple of moments where it felt like the author repeated themselves a bit, but honestly, aside from that, it was a 5-star read for me. I’m still thinking about Cole and Demetri. This is not your typical wolf-shifter book. It dives into some really dark subject matter—abuse and torture, sexual assault, mental illness—and it absolutely wrecked me. I was on the verge of tears for almost the entire book. I’ll be reading the entire series once they are published for sure.

Hi, I'm Rese. I'm starting out on the road to wellness. My journey will not look like yours. And I guarantee that there will be many stumbles along the way. Life happens, and to be honest, I known that I won't break years of bad habits overnight. But I will keep moving forward. I won't let it defeat me. My goal is not to lose weight, although that would definitely be welcome, but instead to lower my blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol by finding a healthier way of eating. A way that works for me and my lifestyle. Some days will be perfect and some days will look like a train wreck, but eventually, I hope there are more good days than bad ones. Or at least that's the goal!
