I finished 19 books in September. I’m coming into my busy season at work, so I have a feeling my reading will drop off from here.

My favorite read of the month was Battle with Fire by K.F. Breene. Reagan has never been my favorite character, but she really came into her own and this book finished the series well. I also really enjoyed Shatter the Dark by Jenna Collett. That may be my favorite book of the series to date. My least favorite was Stranded and Spellbound by Jenna Collett, which I DNF’d. I have no desire to read a full book about his parents being mean to her/her trying to win them over.

I read 33 books in September. My favorite was Serena Bell’s WALK ON THE WILDER SIDE, which did a good job with one of my least favorite tropes: “best friend’s younger sister is forbidden.”
I didn’t hate or DNF any books, but I found Cara Dee’s m/m/m BREATHLESS more than a bit over-the-top: not only did the bdsm-heavy story feature massive amounts of pain-infliction, but two of the three heroes are twins and there is “twincest” (which is a word I never thought I’d have reason to use) sexual activity between them. Not for all tastes, to say the least.
I read thirteen books with my favourite being Running on Diesel by Melissa Foster/ My least favourite was The Spires by Kat Moretti
You made me curious, so I counted the number of books I read in September — 21.
Favorites included A Rational Arrangement by L. Rowyn, Swordheart by T. Kingfisher, A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers, and The Year of Soup by Howard Reiss.
I did not finish a number of books that I didn’t care for.
Congrats to both of you for reading so much! Happy Spooktober!
Happy Spooktober!
I have to say my favorite is Miss Delightful by Grace Burrowes since I can’t remember reading anything else this month that I enjoyed as much. My least favorite was the large anthology Romancing the Past. Rather there were a couple stories that just didn’t do it for me. Most of them were good, but the ones that weren’t were distracting.
I enjoyed Death at the Crystal Palace by Jennifer Ashley. I didn’t have a least favorite.
worst book: One Summer Night by Caridad Piñeiro
Matrix by Lauren Groff was interesting
