Book blog. Mostly YA, but a little bit of everything.
I actually thought I would read more in September with my husband working long hours. Somehow that didn’t happen though. I still did well, pretty close to my average.
These won’t be in order of when I read them, but they were all read in September.
Into the Crooked Place (physical arc) 4 stars
Gravemaidens (digital arc) 4 1/2 stars
The Never Tilting World (digital arc) 4 1/2 stars
I’m doing surprisingly well with all these challenges. If you saw my early posts, you’ll know that I hardly ever signed up for yearly challenges. It overwhelms me and I always forget to go back and update on each one. But I wanted to push myself a bit this year and signed up for a few.
In August, I read 1 book by an Asian author. My total is 12/11. So I’ve met this goal already and hope to get some more read before the end of the year.
I ended up doing better than I expected on this challenge. I rolled for two boards and was able to finish both.

I joined #ARCAugust this year. My sign up post can be found HERE. As I figured, I did not make it through my TBR, but I did read and review (or have reviews scheduled) 9 arcs in August.
These are not in the order in which I read them, but all were finished in August.
It’s September (and my birthday month)! August went by really fast. I was a bit busier than normal on the weekends, but I was still able to read quite a bit. Especially when I think of how slow I was with two of the books I read. I liked everything, but there were definitely some standouts.
Truly Devious 4 1/2 stars
The Vanishing Stair 4 1/2 stars
Gideon the Ninth (digital arc) 4 stars
I had quite a few things going on in July, so I’m kind of surprised I finished as many books as I did. I definitely found some new favorites, too.
House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig (earc) 4 stars
Some Places More Than Others by Renee Watson (physical arc) 5 stars
Mooncakes by Wendy Xu and Suzanne Walker (earc) 5 stars
I am so happy with my June reading. I know I read more because of my hand/tendon issues, so I wasn’t able to type online as much. But I’m really surprised to see how much that helped. I’m going to try to make a goal of reading an extra hour a day at least a few days a week now.
Killing November 5 stars
Ms Marvel Volume 10 5 stars
A Touch of Gold Audio/Reread 5 stars
Fan The Fame (arc) 4 stars
