My Physical TBR (Sept) 💛

🍂 Fall is for cozy reads and crisp pages!

Here’s what’s on my TBR this month:

💛 Lightlark by Alex Aster

💛 The Wedding People by Alison Espach

💛 The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Have you read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts—and tell me, what’s on your September stack? 📖✨

... Read moreOkay, so my September TBR is looking pretty exciting with a mix of fantasy, contemporary, and historical fiction ready to sweep me away this fall! But beyond my immediate stack, I know a lot of you are always on the hunt for those heartwarming, witty reads, especially from authors like Emily Henry or novels similar to 'Nora Goes Off Script' by Annabel Monaghan—and for good reason! Let's talk about why these books and authors are constantly popping up on everyone's radar. If you're looking for something that combines humor, heart, and a truly unique premise, 'Nora Goes Off Script' is an absolute gem. Imagine Nora, a former romance-channel screenwriter, finds her life turned into a reality show when a film crew takes over her house. It's witty, charming, and offers such a refreshing take on finding your voice and second chances. Annabel Monaghan really crafted a delightful read that's perfect for a cozy afternoon. And then there's Emily Henry. What can I say? She has truly become the queen of contemporary romance for so many of us. Her books like 'Beach Read,' 'Book Lovers,' and 'Happy Place' are renowned for their incredible banter, dynamic characters, and emotional depth. Whether it's a fake dating trope, enemies-to-lovers, or a second-chance romance, Emily Henry always delivers stories that make you laugh, cry, and ultimately leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. Her writing just has a way of capturing complex human emotions while keeping everything incredibly engaging and fun. If you're looking for that perfect blend of escapism and profound connection, her books are a must-read, especially as the days get shorter and you crave a good story to get lost in. While my current September TBR has its own fantastic lineup, if you're craving more of that delightful contemporary romance or charming women's fiction, diving into Emily Henry's backlist or picking up 'Nora Goes Off Script' would be an excellent choice. They are the kind of books that feel like a warm hug, ideal for fall reading. I've seen so many of these titles like 'THE BODYGUARD' by Katherine Center or books by Christina Lauren also mentioned as fantastic picks for those who love witty, feel-good stories. So, if you've already devoured my September picks, or just can't get enough of these popular authors, consider adding these to your ever-growing pile! Happy reading, everyone!

I kept seeing the seven husbands of Evelyn on the shelves but for some reason kept passing it up and months later I said you know what let’s go home lol and OMG it is sooo good! Totally unexpected and now one of my favorite books. Yes I recommend it 100 %
