Today is the last day of August bookworms! I'm happy to announce that I had a great reading month! I finished 20 books! Unfortunately I don't think this will continue in September since I'll be going back to school. I'm super excited to talk to you about all the books I read so let's dive in! In this wrap up I'll be providing a few of my thoughts on each book and some quotes if any stood out to me while reading. I will also be sharing my star rating out of 5.
Book 16: Church of Thieves Beta Read by IQ Malcolm I finished a beta read of Church of Thieves this month and it was a lot of fun!
Favourite Book This Month I read a lot of books this month so I had a lot of options for favourite book of the month! Daughter of Sparta takes the spot as my favourite read this month. It was fantastic and I recommend it to everyone! Just an overall awesome book in terms of plot, characters, and writing. I also really enjoyed Dark and Shallow Lies, and The Tea Dragon Tapestry.
That's all for my August 2021 reading wrap up! I hope you enjoyed it! How many books did you read this month? Which one was your favourite? Let me know in the comments below!

For those of you that are new to Once Upon a Book Club, they are a bookish subscription box company with a very unique twist! It is a monthly box with Adult and Young Adult options. The box includes a book along with wrapped gifts with page numbers on them, It creates an interactive reading experience where the gifts are items directly from the book! For example, a character could be completing a puzzle, and then you open a gift with that exact puzzle! As you reach certain pages in the book, you are prompted with a sticky note to remind you of your gifts! It brings the book to life in such a unique way! Cost: $49.99 USD + shipping per month They also ship worldwide! The Storm of Olympus 2021 YA Box Review The Storm of Olympus box featured Daughter of Sparta by Claire M. Andrews! The box came with a signed bookplate from the author, a specialized bookmark to match the book, and a print with a quote! We also have the book club kit pamphlet with a Q&A session with the author, discussion questions, live read a long dates, and a map of the mythical beasts of ancient Greece! Gift 1: Red Chiton and Gold Cuff Bracelet The first gifts in the box were a red chiton dress and a gold cuff bracelet. This is exactly what the main character Daphne is wearing! It really helped me to picture the clothing in the book. Gift 2: Gold Crow Necklace The second gift was a gold crow necklace that was given to Daphne by a mentor. This is the second necklace I've gotten from a Once Upon a Bookclub Box and I love it! They have beautiful and simplistic jewelry and I definitely can see myself wearing this gift soon! Gift 3: Metal Feather Bookmark My next gift was this beautiful bookmark! I love how delicate and detailed it is! In our story Daphne was gifted a feather from a gryphon just like this one. It was such a special touch! I can never have too many pretty bookmarks! 😂 Gift 4: Golden Apple The last gift in this box was a golden apple! Fun fact! In Greek mythology, a golden apple can grant immortality. This was such a unique gift! I'll definitely be displaying this on my bookshelf! Final Thoughts
I had a lot of fun reading this book and having the gifts to look forward to definitely motivated me to read more! It was a lot of fun to have gifts to open after receiving the box itself. It's a gift that keeps on giving! My favourite gift would have to be a tie between the necklace and the feather bookmark! This is my favourite book subscription company because of their unique style and useful gifts. Their boxes would definitely be a great gift for a new reader, or someone getting out of a reading slump! I recommend this book box to everyone! It truly has been an amazing reading experience.
