I genuinely don’t know where the time (and the summer!) has gone. It’s slightly terrifying that it’s September already, but I’m ridiculously excited to put all of my sneakers away and start wearing Docs and cozy cardigans again.
Reading Progress
I was a little burned out in August, but I somehow managed to read 6 books. Three of these were library copies, four were backlist titles, and and three were re-reads (I was much overdue for a Shades of Magic binge, even though I was definitely not emotionally prepared for it). As a result, I’m slightly ahead of my Goodreads challenge, which is a really nice feeling!
Reviews
- Call Down the Hawk | 4 stars | I liked this, but it just wasn’t quite as magical as The Raven Boys
- Girl, Serpent, Thorn | 4 stars | A refreshingly new fairy tale filled with morally grey characters; I wish it was part of a series, instead of a standalone
