After the awfulness that was July, August couldn’t fail to be a better month. Not easy, but better in relative terms, and there were some lovely moments.
I went on alpaca husbandry course where I learned more about taking care of alpacas. I can’t say that I have any immediate plans to get some of my own, but it was a gift as I do love them. The course was partly hands on at times (with supervision!) and I got to weigh some of the babies, which is a little like weighing luggage for a holiday, if that luggage was small, furry, and wriggly and needed to be caught first! It was very adorable. While I was there, one of the alpacas gave birth, and if you’ve ever wondered what a minutes-old baby alpaca looks like, wonder no more!
I read nine books this month, including one reread, and I was very good at reviewing them. Not quite good enough to get all of my reviews out for 20 Books of Summer, but I made a decent attempt!

Um, yes… in my defense, the four by M. W. Craven were very cheap, and having loved The Puppet Show I couldn’t resist.
And that’s my bookish month! I hope you had a good one, and that next month is even better! Happy reading! 🥰
