So, without further ado, here are my top priority August books!   HERETICS ANONYMOUS by Katie Henry - August 7th • interesting examination of faith • atheist at a Catholic school? this will be interesting • I always need more queer Jewish characters • I can find out what happened in the universe where I went to Catholic school, which was a distinct possibility at one point     RUIN OF STARS by Linsey Miller (Mask of Shadows #2) - August 28th • really loved the first book in this series • the ending wrecked me though and I need to find out what happens • I've heard there's even more queer representation in this one? which is always amazing What are some books you're looking forward to in August? Tell me in the comments!
