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?

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 ...

Up All Night - Laura Silverman

4/5 ⭐   Thirteen short stories exploring what happens at night. A perfect summer read for when you're not ready to go to sleep just yet. This anthology features a wide variety of stories all focusing on high schoolers/young adults and certain events or predicaments that they must deal with. Added with the I am not the most familiar with anthologies but I did enjoy the variety and that they were diverse in their characters and representations. I think a lot of teens would enjoy this one. I do think that some stories were better than others, but that is just my opinion. Overall, I really enjoyed this anthology. Thanks to Algonquin Young Readers & NetGalley for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.  6/22/21 *This review was previously posted on my Google Site.

Gallows Hill - Darcy Coates

5/5 ⭐ TBR: 9/6/22 And she is back with another bone-chilling, keep you up all night, make your heart pound horror. If you’ve been around you know that I love Darcy Coates' work. And any and every chance I get, I try to get a copy to read and review. When I saw that she was releasing a second novel this year I squealed and immediately when on the hunt for the arc. Enter Margot Hull, daughter of the recently deceased Hugh and Maria Hull, owners of the world-renowned Gallows Hill Winery. Margot knows little about her parents and her family as she was sent away at a young age and never went back until the day of the funeral. When she arrives at her old family home, secrets long buried come to light as Margot is forced to face the nightmares that curse the land. This is a slow burn tense and foreboding atmospheric masterpiece. And what I thought was going to be a ghost story turned out to be so much more, in the best way possible. This haunted house tale comes with it all. A tragic, blo...
