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.

The Sunday Post!

Welcome back! Today I am taking part in the weekly memes  The Sunday Post hosted by caffeinatedbookreviewer and Stacking The Shelves hosted by .tyngasreviews . I have had a great time coming up with the updates for these posts in the last few weeks and so I will keep doing them. Life This week was crazy for me because I had a a work blog due. While I enjoyed doing the post, it was more research than I had allotted for, so I just needed to spend more time on the blog than normal. Other than that it was an easy week. I got some read in and I got a new chapter up for my fanfic. Yesterday, we spent a lot of time in the backyard and shoveling stone for the yard. Read I just finished China Rich Girlfriend earlier today! All For One Alex &Eliza #3 is still so much fun and I think it is my favorite book of the trilogy still. Currently, I am on page 184/391 I read some The Princess and the Fangirl and I am 50% done. Rather than pushing it for the next few days, I deci...

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.  ...

The Sunday Post!

Welcome back! Today I will link up to  The Sunday Post  hosted by  /caffeinatedbookreviewer  and Stacking the Shelves hosted by  tyngasreviews . Life This week was busier than usual because I ended up going to Peter Pan Jr rehearsals in the afternoon so I could  work with the music cues. The show opens this coming Friday, and this week is Tech Week, which is a four days where the cast will be able to work with lights, sound, mics, costumes, makeup, and basically run the show and get notes. The cast is 3rd-8th graders. I've been helping for years and I love it, although because I love Peter Pan, I have a soft spot for this show in particular. Other than that it was a relaxing week. Read I started Rich People Problems by  Kevin Kwan on Monday. I am 21% done, and I already love this book. I might not love it as much as I loved China Rich Girlfriend, but it's still early.  All For One was the plan to finish last week, but I still have ...
