August First Reads

Choices for August:

• Psychological Thriller - Here to Stay by Mark Edwards
• Contemporary Fiction - The Secrets of Lost Stones by Melissa Payne
• Historical Fiction - The Rabbit Girls by Anna Ellory
• Thriller - Black Nowhere by Reece Hirsch
• War Fiction - The First Stone by Carsten Jensen
• Non-fiction - Those Who Wander: America's Street Kids by Vivian Ho
• Literary Fiction - The Man With No Borders by Richard Morais
• Picture Book - A Tiger Like Me by Michael Engler

So, thrillers aren't my thing, and picture books are better on paper.  That takes three out of the running.  War fiction is something I'll read, but don't want to own, so two more are out (the historical fiction is also WWII related fiction).  The contemporary fiction selection doesn't sound interesting to me, either.  So now I'm down to the non-fic and lit-fic choices.  And the non-fic sounds kind of depressing, so I guess it's the lit fic this month.
