When I read TOG for the first time this year, I read the books in publication order (no tandem read) as I read that that was SJM's recommended reading order. I was somewhat dreading TOD because I'm also not a Chaol girlie - however, it ended up being one of my favourite books in the series! I really liked Yrene's character arc, plus I enjoyed only following 2-3 main characters in TOD after several books of following a chaotically expanding cast. It's definitely worth reading on its own!
I read 4 books in September 😃 first time really getting back into reading again. I absolutely loved it. Books I read: When the moon hatched - 3.5 stars Spells for forgetting: 3.7 Six of crows: 5 stars✨✨ Youve reached sam: 3.4
My favorite September read was hands down Firefly Lane! It's was my 2nd Kristin Hannah book and I'm obsessed with her writing style. I balled like a baby with this one! Oof it hit a little too close to home and the flood gates were just burst open. Already have The Great Alone on order and cannot wait to read that one!!
Omg I also picked up Spark of the everflame last month and enjoyed it so much! It was a 5 stars read for me and I immediately completed rhe second book in the series, also a 5 stars read for me though I admit that I can be a bit dragged out but I enjoyed it nonetheless. And that ending!!!!
Two Twisted Crowns and The Unmaking of June Farrow were my only reads in Sebtember, loved both! It’s rather cold and often rainy here, I’d love to have summer sun back 🥲
just commenting on the first 40 seconds of the video: omgggg I need the sun 😢 here in France, especially Paris it’s sooooo cold already and the rain I don’t even want to speak on it 😭😭😭 there was no transition from summer to fall considering we didn’t get the best summer of all time! Anyway going back to the video ^^
I totally agree disliking bully romance, especially when the bullying gets to bad to be forgiven. I also really like slow burn, the slower the better 😂 My favorite September read was Mr Loverman, I really enjoyed it more then I expected ❤
I loved September because I finally got out of my reading slump (after almost two months 😭). My favourite books were Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus and Past, present, future by Rachel Lynn Solomon! ❣
I had a great month reading after two 5 star reads i think i am in a slump😅. It always happens whenever i read such a great book I can't seem to enjoy other books. BTW small spaces( middle grade spooky), nettle and bone are my 5 star read 😊. Highly recommend. Masters of death is also really good, i found the story unique and definitely different kind of writing in my opinion 😊
I’m gonna be avoiding impractical magic, I also heard someone say that it took exact lines from Gilmore Girls. My favorite reads were Caraval and An Arrow to The Moon!
Last book I read for review was Christmas at Borrow a Bookshop. I liked the romance, and it wasn't too sexual, book felt SUPER cozy, but third part of it dragged on so I found it hard to finish :(
@@jaimefok tbh it felt quite fitting as there is a big plot point with natural disaster and I read it along with news of hurricane in USA and us here also having strong winds and rain xD
Yes, totally agree on the bully romance… I just don’t get the appeal. My favorite September read was Her Radiant Curse. Still like Six Crimson Cranes better though. I also reread Funny Story and loved it even more than I did the first time through.
I read 14 books in September my favorite reads The air he breathes by brittainy cherry The wild truth by carine mccandless memoir there's a movie called into the wild based on her brother Christopher mccandless Twisted lies by ana Huang City of dreams by don Winslow sequel to city of fire it's a crime trilogy Funny story by Emily Henry

@@readbyjordyn OMGGGGG 😭😭😭
Unfortunately I did not have time to read any books this month. My job is taking over all my time 😮💨
I hope things calm down for you soon!❤️
i think im in the unpopular opinion in preferring tower of dawn over empire of storms. I'm now 60% in to kingdom of ash so nearly there lol
I have some friends who LOVE tower of dawn!
True Love by Sarah Gerard but not my favorite.
nooo, I'm sorry you had so many mediocre ones this month. hopefully october will be better :)
Fingers crossed!!
I read 14 books in September my favorite reads
