September Wrap Up & October TBR




. 



Hi! I know I’ve been posting less and less over the last few weeks but I want to do better at posting here and getting the rest of my things done. Anyway, I’m combining the posts because I only finished two books in September. I enjoy writing about my life here and what I’m doing so I might make a more personal related or life related wrap up and a bookish one. Also, It’s my birth month!!!!

September

Finished 

I only finished two books and one of those was on the 29th.

Carry On Simon by Rainbow Rowell

Rating ***** (5 Stars)

read from July 29th - September 24th

Luckily I got the B&N Edition of Wayward Son so it showed up the next day not the day it came out. If you follow me on Good Reads, you know that I enjoyed this reread so much more. It might have been that I bounced right back into this after Fangirl so I was just already into the world in a way. This novel is a wild ride and during the reread I was more engaged with their story.

Soul of Stars by Ashley Poston

Rating ***** (5 stars)

read from July 23rd- September 29th

This is a sequel to Heart of Iron which I thoroughly enjoyed last year. While this book was definitely clunky in places and the pacing was wonky in parts, it wrapped up so nicely. I wanted to live more in this world and with these characters. I would love a movie or TV show with this crew because so much development could happen. Also, the found family themes around this duology was perfect.  I stared tearing up when I read the last 40 pages on the 29th.

October TBR

 Hello Girls by Brittany Cavallaro and Emily Henry (50% done)

Reasonably I should have finished this last month. I just wasn’t reading this as much because I got behind with Carry On. This book is so much fun and I love Nona and Lucy so much. If I do favorite characters of 2019 post, this year in December one of them if not both will make it on said list. I’m at the point on the book where it’s more fun because they’re living their best lives away from the people that hurt them.

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell (Simon Snow # 2) (pg 110/ 368)

I started this the day I got it and have read it a few times since. I am loving this story so far and I spent a day reading it at the salon where I read close to 90 pages. The book is fantastic and reads like a YA novel because of the road trip aspect. These are fantasy based characters in a whole new country that they don’t know so that’s a lot of fun. The book is witty, and the writing is what you would expect from Rainbow Rowell.

The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus # 1) by Rick Riordan (reread)

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, for my birthday I am asking for this series for my birthday. To continue I need to reread this because  I can’t remember the base storyline of this book.

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

This week our topic is a freebie, so I decided to make my list of my top ten reads part one.   Middle Grade 12- Never After by Melissa de la Cruz I'm almost done with this book. It's a duology, and I loved the new twist on fairy tales.    YA 13- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this early in the year and it stuck with me. This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it. I love the unique narrator, the characters, and the story.  15- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This is another backlist release.

Top Ten Tuesday-- Favorite Places to read

  Hi! Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme Jana hosts @ thatartsyreadergirl This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists, and bringing the book blogging community together. Each Week, Jana will post a prompt, and we readers will post our list as a reply. We also have the option of going rogue, and posting a topic of our own choosing or a past topic. This week out topic is favorite places to read.   1- At my desk   I read a lot in my room and at my desk. I’m trying to find another method because I tend to stop reading and look at a notification that distracts me. I enjoy reading at my desk because it’s easy.  2- In bed I need to be wide awake to read in bed, but I might start doing it more. Reading in bed is less distracting for me, but it still can make me tired. 3- In the car Some weeks I spend a lot of time in the car. When I’m in the the car I’ll try to read a chapter or two, but it sends up being more like 3-4 depending on how long the car ride is.
