September TBR

Hi friends! So much has happened during these past couple of months ... I didn't read a single page for at least six weeks 😳 But before I tell you all where I've been and what I've been up to, here's what I plan to read in September! I know it's a lofty goal, but I'm itchin' for some really good reads :)

PREPARING FOR UPCOMING RELEASES

Warcross by Marie Lu // Alexa has been non-stop championing this book, so I know it'll be an excellent read!

Vicious by V.E. Schwab // I always wait so long to read books I KNOW are gonna be good ... but I haven't been spoiled yet, so I better get to it before it happens 😅

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor // This one is going to be a doozy ...

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak // I tried reading this one a couple of years ago and it may have just been bad timing, but I couldn't get through it. 100% willing to try it again, since *so* many people love it.

NEW RELEASES ✨

Believe Me by J.P. Delaney // I didn't get to my early copy from NetGalley because July was so busy for me, but I still want to read and review it. The Girl Before, Delaney's debut novel, was really good.

Contagion by Erin Bowman // I've read an embarrassingly low number of sci-fi/space books, and I told y'all I wanted to read this one soon ... note to self: MAKE IT HAPPEN. I can't be going around, telling people I love sci-fi only having read a handful on the subject 🙄

Not Even Bones by Rebecca Schaeffer // This one is a maybe (hopefully) since I'm not sure I'll be able to get it from my library in time. I won't be bummed to push this one back to October though—I think it'll be the perfect read for Halloween since it's on the dark side.

MIDDLE GRADE PICKS

City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab // Another Schwab book I'm hoping to get to. I've heard all sorts of good things from Emma and Madalyn at Novel Ink!

Midnight in the Piazza by Tiffany Parks // I'm working at a public library (more on that soon!) and have been particularly interested in the middle grade reads, so I wanted to try and pick a book to read each month—not based on reviews or anything I see about it online, but just by the blurb (and I'll be honest, the cover too.) Right when I saw "ROME" in the summary, I knew this would be my September choice. It was one of the cities my husband and I visited during our honeymoon!

Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers // To be honest, I'm not too interested in this book ... but Mary Poppins Returns is coming out in December and it's a MUSICAL. That LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA is in. So sign me up 😂

THE HOPEFULS (IF TIME PERMITS!)

Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan + P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han
