Welcome!

Wow, I can't believe that September is already over! As we approach the end of the year, I decided to take a look at my 2025 reading goal and see where I stand with it. I am honestly shocked that I am still (mostly) on track. However, some of my other goals are not as on track. I've noticed I've read a lot of books from the library this year. Which is great, but it means I'm not reading the books that I buy (don't tell my husband!). Now, let's wrap up what I read this month.

The King of Spring by Collette Carmon - ★★★★☆ I loved so much about this book. The gender swap was good and I loved how Hades is more kind than portrayed in mythology and Persephone (Kore) is more fierce than in mythology.

I’m so excited for many of these reads this month! Book Club Reads ARC Reads 25 in 25 reads Buddy Reads Just Because Reads

★★★★★ This book was amazing! From the beginning of the book, you get a feel for each of the characters' distinct personalities, and I fell for them all instantly, especially Sev!

What a busy month! I finished 6 books... White Rose Painted Red - ★★★★★ The Wild Robot - ★★★★ Battle Angel Alita, Vol. 1 - ★★★ Parasyte, Vol. 1 - ★★★ Kaiju No. 8, Vol. 12 - ★★★★ Hearstopper, Vol. 1 - ★★★★★ ...DNFed 2 books... The Butcher - I DNFed this one after chapter 1. It just wasn't pulling me in, and I found myself not wanting to pick it up again. Call of the Night Vol 1 - This one was actually pretty good. I read about half of it, but it was not what I was expect

★★★☆☆ I really enjoyed the writing style of this book. I am not usually into sci-fi but the premise of inherited/shared memories was intriguing to me. It took me awhile to piece together how the chapters connected to each other but once I got far enough in and started seeing the big picture it really made me think. I got serious 1984 vibes from this. The ending was kind of a let down for me, but I think the ending is meant to be more open and make you think rather than being
