September Wrap Up/October TBR

In September I read a total of 9 books and 1,831 pages!

         

The Ancient Magus’ Bride by Kore Yamazaki: 3/5 stars. It was okay…I’m not going to continue on with the series though.

Heat of the Moment by Lauren Barnholdt: 1/5 stars. I couldn’t even get past the first 30 pages. I left a very tiny review here on Goodreads

The Lonesome Young by Lucy Connors (REVIEW): 4/5 stars. I really liked this, but thought it dragged on in a few places and ended a bit abruptly.

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (REVIEW): 4/5 stars. A cute middle grade fantasy that came highly recommended!

Howl’s Moving Castle Film Comic, Vol. 1 by Hayao Miyazaki and Diana Wynne Jones: 3/5 stars. These are short little novellas that show the movie in comic form (basically). Definitely does not follow the book to a T which is a little disappointing, but they’re still an enjoyable read

Howl’s Moving Castle Film Comic, Vol. 2 by Hayao Miyazaki and Diana Wynne Jones: 3/5 stars (see above)

Howl’s Moving Castle Film Comic, Vol. 3 by Hayao Miyazaki and Diana Wynne Jones: 3/5 stars

Howl’s Moving Castle Film Comic, Vol. 4 by Hayao Miyazaki and Diana Wynne Jones: 3/5 stars

Death and the King’s Horseman: A Play by Wole Soyinka: 2/5 stars. This was something I had to read for class and I enjoyed it in the context of that setting, but it’s not something I’d ever pick up on my own

Forever Valley by Marie Redonnet: 1/5 stars. Again, another book I had to read for class and it was awful. Ughhhh required reading is sometimes the worst.

In October I want to read:

     

A Court of Thrones and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (reread)

Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman (ARC read)
