Well, another month gone. I can’t believe that it’s October already, although it doesn’t feel like it because the high here is still about 90 degrees (not exaggerating).

This was definitely a slow reading/blogging month for me, as I was adjusting to school, getting my license (16, whoop!), and planning parties. Overall, I read a measly six books. I’m definitely going to have to make up for this in October. On the bright side, now that I have a car and can drive wherever my heart desires, book-buying is no longer limited to Amazon (smirk intensifies.)

Okay, so here’s the breakdown:

Books (+links if I reviewed them)

1. A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir
2. The Stone Bearers by Jacque Stevens
3. Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
4. Firstlife by Gena Showalter
5. Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson
6. The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi

Haul (I don’t remember all of them but these are the most noteworthy)

• Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas (+the coloring book)
• The Longest Night by Andria Williams
• Across the Universe by Beth Revis

I’ve also ordered Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo-they should be coming sometime soon.

So obviously, my gain/read ratio was skewed in favor of my TBR pile this month. Like I said, October will hopefully be my catch-up month… if I’m not too busy eating candy. Because, you know, HALLOWEEN!! Yay! Prepare yourselves for some spooky-type posts.

Until next time 🙂
