Aug. ~ Do the Hustle (suggestions: single moms trying to make ends meet, work-related struggles, shady characters with ulterior motives / agenda).

• I picked Shifting Dreams for the Aug. Theme.  It’s been on my TBR since 2018. It’s got a single shifter mother of two trying to keep her family safe.

Oct. ~ Here There Be Monsters (suggestions: monsters, Gothic, paranormal, fantasy, romantic suspense – humans being the biggest monsters of all quite frankly….)

• I picked Soulless for the Oct. Theme. It’s a paranormal historical romance. It’s got monsters – Vampires, Shifters, and Soulless plus humans who are the bad guys or the biggest monsters of them all.

My Goal is 12 or more & to do the Theme’s each month
I’ve read/listened to 14 books for this challenge.
Read Total of 2 (Aug./Sept.) / Completed Aug./Oct. Theme
