What I read in August 2012

August was a bit of a slow reading month for me. Books just took me a bit longer to read for some reason. Not because they were bad reads though.

1. 4.5, THE STONE-CUTTER, Camilla Lackberg  - audio book
2. 4.2, ASIA HAND, Christopher G. Moore  - Kindle
3. 4.6, THE CROWDED GRAVE, Martin Walker  - library book
4. 4.5, THE HEADHUNTERS, Peter Lovesey  - library book
5. 4.5, THE HOUSE OF SILK, Anthony Horowitz  - audio book
6. 4.8, SAY YOU'RE SORRY, Michael Robotham  - Australian author

Michael is an Australian author who has won various awards including the Ned Kelly Award for best crime fiction.

It was the first book I read for the month and was published on August 14.
