Since each symbol represents 2 books and there are 4 symbols in Aug, the number of books is $4\times2 = 8$.

Step2: Calculate books read in Sept

There is 1 symbol in Sept, so the number of books is $1\times2=2$.

Step3: Calculate books read in Oct

There are 3 symbols in Oct, so the number of books is $3\times 2=6$.

Step4: Calculate books read in Nov

There are 2 symbols in Nov, so the number of books is $2\times2 = 4$.

Step5: Calculate books read in Dec

There are 3 symbols in Dec, so the number of books is $3\times2=6$.
