August

"Let me enjoy this late summer day of my heart while the leaves are still green..." John Bohrn, "Late August"


This is one lucky month. Not only is August the eighth month of the year with 31 glorious days, it is also an adjective. And might I add, a superb adjective. 

August (aw-GHUST). Inspiring awe, reverence or admiration; imposing, eminent. (from Roget's Thesaurus of Words for Writers)


Find a hammock or comfy chair, pour some iced tea, and read a new book by Amy Schumer, Jeffrey Toobin, Ann Hood, Nicholas Sparks, Louise Penny, Catherine Coulter, Stuart Woods, Eric Van Lustbader, James Andrew Miller, Janet Evanovich, Lisa Scottoline, Susan Wiggs, Caleb Carr and James Andrew Miller. If you enjoy coloring, watch for new books by Johanna Basford and Disney.

Celebrate August -  American Artists Appreciation Month, Get Ready for Kindergarten Month, National Read a Romance Month and What Will be Your Legacy Month.
