Another month gone and we're finally into October and the spooky month! September was mostly a good month, particularly in terms of the reading I got done. I read a total of 14 books in September which officially pushed me over the 100-book total for the year so far. I have a couple new favorites and finished a series this month. That being said, most of what I read was more "easy" reading to escape into and won't find its way onto my favorites of all time list. But, overall, an enjoyable reading month with a few standout reads as well as a reread of one of my favorite series.

I hauled just three books in September. I'm pretty excited about all of them. I've found that being more intentional about the books I'm buying lately has led to more enjoyment out of the purchase and act of owning a copy.
The first two books I got were The Fractured Dark and The Bound Worlds by Megan E. O'Keefe. These are the last two books in the Devoured Worlds trilogy, of which I read the first book this month. My library only had the first book on Libby so once I'd read that and knew I loved the story I bought the others to be able to continue with it. I have not yet read them, though I've started The Fractured Dark and they're on my immediate list to read soon. They're fascinating and complex and addicting but also require a lot of brain power that I find hard to give when I'm working a lot.
The third book I got this month was Heir by Sabaa Tahir. To my understanding, this is a spin-off/set in the same world as the Embers in the Ashes quartet which is one that I haven't finished but have really enjoyed so far. I forgot I'd preordered this so it was a really happy surprise when it showed up on my doorstep. And the physical book is absolutely stunning! Under the dust jacket is a gorgeous case and the cover itself and spine are stunning. I can't wait to put this on my future shelf next to the Ember series. I will wait to read it until I've finished that quartet but it is on my rather immediate list.
Thanks for reading!
