Yes, you heard that right! I managed to read ten entire books this month. This is above my average (it’s around 4) and I’m so excited to be reading again! Let’s get into all the books I managed to read in the month of September.
1. Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell + Faith Erin Hicks
I read this at the very beginning of the month and I absolutely ADORED it. It’s the perfect Fall read and I totally plan to read it again. I ended up giving this book five out of five stars. I have a review here for anyone who is interested in knowing more! ★★★★★

2. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
I decided to pick this up on audio because last month, I listened to Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn and really enjoyed it. I’ve always heard about Gone Girl and I know people love this book so I wasn’t worried about not liking it. I’m new into thrillers and I found this book SO entertaining. The audiobook is magnificent. I ended up giving it five out of five stars. ★★★★★
Edition I read: Audiobook
Page Count: 415 pages
3. Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom by Sylvia Plath
I decided to listen to this on audiobook since it’s like 40 something minutes long and to be honest, I don’t remember a thing. I did enjoy it, though? I ended up giving it three out of five stars. ★★★
Edition I read: Audiobook
Page Count: 48 pages
4. Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky
I’ve never had so much fun reading a book. I wrote an entire review for this release, so here’s the link. I loved it and gave it a solid four out of five stars. ★★★★Edition I read: E-book (arc copy)
Page Count: 720 pages
5. If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
So many people love this book but I just wasn’t feeling it. While it’s atmospheric and the characters are somewhat interesting, the plot bored me to death. I also found it kind of predictable. I gave it three stars! ★★★
Edition I read: Hardcover
Page Count: 368 pages
6. The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
I cracked open this book the moment I picked it up from the bookstore. I got it on release day and absolutely devoured it. I found this one way more entertaining than the first one! It might be an unpopular opinion, but I like it more than the first. If you want to know more of my thoughts, here’s my review! ★★★★★
Edition I read: Hardcover
Page Count: 422 pages
7. Tunnel of Bones by Victoria Schwab
Edition I read: Audiobook
Page Count: 304 pages
8. Kingdom Of Ash by Sarah J. Maas
What a finale. I’m so sad that these books are over. I’ve been reading them as they released and it’s been one hell of a ride. I’ll miss Chaol, Dorian, and Aelin so much. Until I read it again! I gave this book five out of five stars. Absolutely excellent. ★★★★★
Edition I read: Hardcover
Page Count: 984 pages
9. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
I’m so glad I finally got to reading this book. It’s on my Fall TBR so I planned to read it but wow, it was amazing. I love Angie Thomas’ writing so much and I already have On the Come Up checked out from the library. This should be required reading. I, of course, gave it five out of five stars. ★★★★★
Edition I read: Hardcover
Page Count: 444 pages
10. Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell
I have a lot of feelings about this book but I can’t really put them into words right now. I might write a mini review but as for now, know that I did love it but I just have minor issues with it. I missed Rainbow’s writing so much and reading this was such a relief. It was the writing I love dearly and also, Simon and Baz. I ended up giving it four out of five stars. ★★★★
