September has definitely turned out to be a very good month. The autumn whether is finally starting to kick in. It definitely seems to be an appropriate season for change, and I have a lot of changes coming my way. Some of those changes might mean less blogging, but I’m hoping if I keep organised then I can still keep on top of everything.
Reviews
- The Outsiders by S E Hinton
- The Power by Naomi Alderman
- The Duff by Kody Keplinger
- The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry
Reading Summary
This month I’ve read six books. I probably wouldn’t have read as many if it hadn’t been for a few productive train journeys. I did think I would read a lot more this month, now that my MA has finished, but it turns out September has been a lot busier than I was anticipating!
- Bitter Eden by Totamkhulu Afrika
- Exquisite by Sarah Stovell
- Days Without End by Sebastian Barry
- Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
- The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry
- The Duff by Kody Keplinger
Books Bought
I bought five books this month, which is much more restrained than last month. Clearly turning 24 has given me a little more willpower (maybe). I have to say all the books I bought are beautiful though.
- We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
- Orlando by Virginia Woolf
- Emma by Jane Austen
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
- Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
And I was also given four more, which wasn’t my fault, but has something to do with my VERY EXCITING NEWS this month.
- Exquisite by Sarah Stovell
- Bitter Eden by Tatamkhulu Afrika
- Fever by Deon Meyer
- Recipes for Love and Murder by Sally Andrew
Other News
Last week I turned 24 years old. I know my About Page and side-bar still say 23, but let me cling to youth for a few more minutes please. I also got an internship at a literary agent’s (this is the Exciting News) and handed my resignation in at work- I have mixed feelings because I’m going to miss everyone but it’s honestly a dream job, and I’m so excited to spend 3 months learning as much as I can.
Also I reached 100 followers on the blog! Which means I’m organising my first ever giveaway to celebrate, so stay tuned for that!
How was your month?
