Top 5 Of Our New August Books To Save For Later
These were rather weird holidays. So much travelling (mission easily possible with your vaccines in place), so many new places, so many meetings with dear people, even plenty of sunshine and salty sea water but just a couple of books read from our summer reading list. Perhaps it was the fatigue to blame when steering blindly at the sea has been the most preferred option for relaxation. Anyways, the pages left unread still reproachfully remind us that there're long autumn nights ahead to eliminate the backlog. Therefore, it's not too late to present our TOP 5 of new August books, as it's obviously never too late to read.

This novel will provide you not only with a heart-warming story but also with a valuable reading list. Widower Mukesh lives quietly after his wife's death but he is not alone - his teenage granddaughter Aleisha lives together, only she spends more time with the books than her granddad. Working at a local library during summer she finds a piece of paper in the back of To Kill a Mockingbird. It appears to be a list of the novels she has never read and she decides to read all books from the list and exchange her complicated reality with an imaginary world of literature. Aleisha also passes the list to Mukesh in hope that reading might bring them closer and heal the lonely souls.
