I am kicking off September with an actual long weekend so I am hoping for a much better reading month compared to August. It's also the start of cooler temperatures and so many amazing smelling candles. I love the fall season.
I've been working a weird shift (lots of training) for months now and it is definitely impacting my reading. I am hoping it'll ease soon and I can take some vacation time for some much needed time with my books.
Before sharing what I hope to read this month I have to recap August first.
The books that were on my list are:
Here is what I managed to read in August:
Plus I had some ebooks on my list:
I Am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll (goodreads)
Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney (goodreads)
I managed to get in four books this month which is not great, but I am calling it a win because of the hours I have been keep at work.
My #PopCultureResolution book for August was The Golden Cage by Camilla Lackberg which I just got from the library. The movie was Ready or Not. I reviewed the movie and the book will hopefully be coming soon.
Here is what I hope to read in September:
It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey (goodreads)
Movie Star by Lizzie Pepper by Hilary Liftin (goodreads)
I also have some ebooks I am hoping to get to:
56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard (goodreads)
All These Bodies by Kendare Blake (goodreads)
My #PopCultureResolution picks for this month are Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane and Rosemary's Baby. I am very excited for both of these!
Next up is an update on my two reading challenges:
September's pick for my '12 friends, 12 books' reading challenge is Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi so I'll be getting to that at some point this month. I am two books behind, but I am hoping to make it up soon. I am determined to have it done by the end of the year.
