Top Six Anticipated Reads: August & Women ONLY Edition

Can I be an honest book blogger? Compared to June and July, August feels a bit lacking in publishing. But that’s OK. It will give me time to read my back list AND it also gives me a chance to make this month’s TOP SIX a women’s only list. So let’s fill up our TBR (to be read) lists together with August’s TOP SIX! There is also a bonus pick this month!

Scroll down for my short and sweet reasoning. Be sure to click on the photos to read the synopsis of each book.
