August Wrap-Up

August 2021 can really be summed up for me with two words: Samantha Young. Honestly, I wasn’t influenced or paid to swoon over her books but I will anyway because it’s true. Her books are just that good. Before we get to that though, we have more 2021 Hallmark Summer Nights movies to talk about. They really did knock it out of the park in August! Can we also talk about what soap operas you watched growing up? It’ll make sense when you listen. Ryan - I’m still open to starting a Christmas tree farm together if you hear this. Okay, now to books! There was no August book club pick but there was certainly no shortage of books. From Here With Me to There With You, the first two books in The Adair Family series by Samantha Young, to her first published book On Dublin Street, the only thing that could make all this better is if any of these men existed and if I lived in Scotland to find them. I was also happily surprised by Emily Henry’s Beach Read. After just hearing about Beth O’Leary a few months ago I officially read all three of her books by finishing The Flatshare. I get why it launched her success. And rounding out the books is a brand new author, Lily Menon with her first book Make Up Break Up. You can find links to all of these books on the website www.sockbunstudios.com in this week’s blog post!
