September reading recap 📚🥀

I don’t have much to say about this month. I’m really going to make an effort to read more in October. I read everyday, but sometimes only one chapter at a time. I’m so much happier when I read more, so here’s to an October full of good books and lots of reading 🧡

September superlatives:

Best book of the month: Don’t Let the Forest In !!!! By farrrrr !!!! 🥀🪾❤️‍🩹

Most surprising book of the month: In the Tall Grass… I watched the movie first and the book was wayyyy better. Much more intense and disturbing imo!

Book(s) I’d recommend: Don’t Let the Forest In and You’ve Lost a Lot of Blood… but only if you like ambiguous endings and stories that are very up for interpretation 😶‍🌫️

September was a good reading month. I assumed the back-to-school energy would allow me to read more books, but I deeply enjoyed what I read. Rachel Kushner’s Creator Lake was a dense one that took me a couple of weeks to read but ultimately felt rewarding and worth the effort. I’m doing a similar t

March Reading Recap: Elsie Silver Binge

In March I did a deep dive into Elsie Silver and I understand the hype. It’s the first time this year that I read books so quickly. At first I thought, they must be short but I was wrong. Each novel was close or well over 400 pages. They were so good that I simply devoured them! Some I enjoyed more
