So many cool things happened this month, it was me and my brother’s birthday. And in honor of my birthday I posted a Random Favorites that you can check here. I also did a birthday book haul if you want to take a look at what my awesome friends gifted me, then click here.
In the month of September, I met Lilly from Lair of Books and Leigh Bardugo (author of The Grisha Trilogy and Six of Crows Duology) which was super fun and super cool. Lilly and I went to the Crooked Kingdom signing event at strand. I have a whole post with photos and the book here.
Writing wise, I posted 6 poetry pieces that you can check out in the writing category here. 4 of them belonging to my People I Once Knew segment and 2 random pieces.
I’m hoping that October is a better reading month for me but let’s see what happens. How was your September? Have you read any of these books?

Eeeeeeeek I cannot wait!!! After Crooked Kingdom, I want to read some shorter faster paced books because these chunkers are throwing me off lol. My exception is Gemina, I know that’s another chunker but the formatting is different. I cannot wait to see you Friday and fangirl once again together =)

Thanks so much!!! Please read Nevernight, it’s just so well done for an Adult Fantasy featuring teenagers. I feel like its a YA Fantasy movie rated R lol (hope that makes sense)

Nevernight is waiting for me at very close proximity. Even my husband already read it last month and he’s not a fellow bibliophile. One day *strokes cover*, one day XD (and yes, September definitely did fly by. I hope October will go superslow!)

Great recap and, I feel like I say it at the beginning of all my monthly recaps as well, I can’t believe where the year is going either. How is it October already?! I’m really glad you enjoyed Nevernight, it’s one of my favourite reads of this year so it’s great seeing you gave it a five star review, but it’s a shame you didn’t enjoy Empire of Storms as much. That was one of my most anticipated reads for this year and I actually really enjoyed that one too
It sounds like overall you had a great September, and I hope October is just as good for you! 😀
