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. It gave a good depth to the characters and showed how not everyone is who people think they are. I really enjoyed it! Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey - ★★★ ⯪ ☆ Come for Matt, stay for the story. I started it because it was Mathew McConaughey but I finish

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
