August 2022 in Retrospect: What I Read/Listened to/Wrote About

Okay, in August I finished 30 books, for 8,494+ pages or the equivalent (Audible Originals really mess me up with the page estimates). No stinkers this month—3.8 average stars. I successfully wrapped up the 20 Books of Summer Challenge, got a few Q&As in, and…well, that’s about it, actually.

I’ve got a great-looking stack of books for September, and a few Q&As lined up. I’ve also got a fun project that should be kicking off this month that will last for a good chunk of the rest of the year. I’ll talk more about it before it launches, but I’m going to keep my powder dry for now.

Enough about that—here’s what happened here in August.
