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?

A Beeline to Murder - Meera Lester

4/5 ⭐ I was a little nervous when I started it that I wasn't going to like it because some of the dialogue is a bit much but I was pleasantly surprised! The setting was wonderfully designed and you felt like you were there in Las Flores, walking downtown and visiting the cute and quaint places Abby visits in her quest to solve the murder of French-Canadian pastry chef Jean-Louis Bonheur. She is aided by the victim's brother and her former colleagues in the police department to uncover the truth. And the victim's adorable and excitable dog, Sugar. I liked how the book was dotted with recipes for not only baked goodies but other things like doggie treats, chicken wraps and how to treat a bee sting. I wasn't the biggest fan of all the cheeky dialogue between Abby and her best friend Kat. Or when it was used elsewhere. There is an overabundance of nicknames used. It felt over the top and after a while it was annoying. But that was probably the only part I wasn't a fan o...

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...

Payback's a Witch - Lana Harper

5/5 ⭐ Filled with a fantastical description, feisty characters, and a devious plan concocted by three spurned witches, this book is hard to put down. I am notorious for being picky when it comes to fantasy and romance stories, so finding one that was a combination of both that I loved was thrilling. Emmy Harlow has finally returned home in order to fulfill a centuries-long tradition in her family. I don't know if it was just me but I could feel the struggles Emmy was facing from page one. Harper managed to make her feel alive and genuine, which I am coming to find appeals to me when reading. Emmy fled her hometown nearly 10 years earlier and the wounds are still hurting. She's a little lost, a little pissed, and a little in love. Her homecoming is something she struggles with throughout most of the main story. The longing for a home but not knowing if it is the place she grew up in, the magical and wonderful Thistle Grove. Or if it is magicless, solitary Chicago to which she fl...
