September Wrap Up

  

Hello Bookworms and happy autumn!

I am back with a monthly update since I actually read something in September. 


In September I finished 7 books.

  • Over My Dead Body by Sweeney Boo. 5/5⭐️
  • Cackle by Rachel Harrison. 5/5⭐️
  • Can't Spell Treason without Tea by Rececca Thorne. 5/5⭐️
  • Back in a Spell (ARC) by Lana Harper. 5/5⭐️
  • Shady Hollow by Juneau Black. 5/5⭐️
  • In the Company of Witches by Auralee Wallace. 5/5⭐️
  • Secretly Yours (ARC) by Tessa Bailey. 4/5⭐️

Favorite:

  • Can't Spell Treason without Tea. Another cozy fantasy that was just so freaking cute!

Least Favorite: 

  • Secretly Yours. It wasn't bad, but I am not the biggest fan of romances to begin with. 

ARC's: Only the two ARCs this month. I tried to work through my physical TBR list. 

Currently, I am on a bit of a cozy mystery binge and am working my way through Gunpowder Green by Laura Childs. 

For October my main goal is to just keep doing what I have been doing. Read at least 5 titles a month and any additional to that is bonus. It seems to be working and helps keep me out of a reading slump. 

Also having that seasonal TBR to work from is nice because it creates a sort of mood list to pull from and as you know I am a massive mood reader. But I also don't have to stick to it if I don't want to. And because it is officially spooky month I will have a spooky TBR coming out as well as a spooky recommendations list!

So, I totally jumped on the Disney Dreamlight Valley bandwagon and have been playing that almost everyday this month. It's very healing and chill and perfect for the season and how I have been feeling. I've also been trying to be intentional with how I game and consume things because often I feel as though I just plow through things with little thought and miss out and then once I am done I miss the game and replaying it doesn't always have the same appeal. 

I have also been rewatching X-Files. I am in the middle of season four currently. I love how weird it is. And I haven't watched a show with like a full 24 episodes in a season in a long time. I keep thinking its a different season just to realize it's the same one. Basically, I am taking my time rewatching it. 

Thanks so much for reading! What did you get up to in September? What are you looking forward to reading in October?

One by One - Ruth Ware

3/5 ⭐ Possible Spoilers - Read with care Snowed in on the French Alps, a cozy chalet filled with execs from a social media company, and murder. What started as a intriguing murder mystery said to be inspired by one of the greatest mystery writers, quickly fell down the slopes the author wrote about. I had heard mixed reviews about Ruth Ware's novels, some said they were great, some said they were left disappointed. I thought it only fair to read one and see for myself. Unfortunately, I felt disappointed. This one was talked up a lot in it's homage to  Agatha Christie's arguably best work 'And Then There Were None' which is why I decided to start with this one. Maybe that was my fault. Maybe I should have started with another one. But this one also sounded the most interesting to me anyways. It started off strong, introducing the characters and setting. Building the suspense before the first crime took place. But between the flipping back and forth POV and the dragge...

The Family Plot - Megan Collins

  4/5 ⭐ A family brought up learning about everything through the lens of true crime. Murder, mayhem, and death are the Lighthouse family's close companions. I was looking forward to this book since reading the summary. I have a mild interest in true crime and was interested in seeing how this story would incorporate such a widely talked about topic. For some, true crime is overdone and saturates media. And if anything, I think Collins does a fantastic job of acknowledging that fact and takes on true crime in a new and unique fashion. We are immediately introduced to the main setting, Blackburn Island, home to a serial killer who was never caught and the home of the 4 Lighthouse children and their... peculiar parents. I thought that Collins did a good job with the characters introducing them one right after another without it feeling rushed or like we were missing something. If anything it felt as though we learned a lot about the family within just the first few chapters. Without ...

Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen

  4.5/5  ⭐ Queer Knives out? Sign me UP! This is one house that is full to bursting with secrets. One that Evander Mills is all to familiar with. One that cost him his job, his friends and almost his life. Being queer in the 50s was not just dangerous, it was a crime. And navigating raids and a disapproving population is hard. So finding a family that are all one way or another queer is unheard of and dangerous. Asked to discreetly investigate a mysterious murder, Mills is let in on the family secret and learns what it’s like to be surrounded my others just like him. And the safety and freedom offered to him behind those closed gates. But not all is well and he quickly learns that as more than just a mysterious murder take place. This was such a good mystery and having the queer rep made it even better. I was a little cautious with the comparison to Knives Out because I didn’t want just a queer book version of it. That would have been boring. But if you liked Knives Out, I...
