October had its ups and downs from reading-wise. I was really in the mood for a cozy, autumnal witch book, and I kept starting books and not finding what I was looking for. I reread a couple of favorites and enjoyed some new books too:

Happy October, everyone! I'm slightly conflicted about it being October—this is my favorite time of year, but I'm also kind of disturbed that it's October already. I am happy that it's fall, though, and spooky season, and I'm diving into some seasonally appropriate reading. But for now, here are some books I enjoyed in September:
I have absolutely no idea what happened to August—I feel like I blinked and it was gone. I know I ate a lot of birthday cake and the weather alternated between rainy and super hot, but mostly the month and the summer just flew by. I did read some good books in August, though, and it turned out to be a good reading month for me.
July officially passed in the blink of an eye! I'm having a hard time believing it's August, though August is my birthday month which should make it special. (I'm mostly just hoping it doesn't go so quickly—I love fall, but I don't need time flying by quite so much!) Here's what I read and enjoyed in July:
I'm not sure where June went or how we're halfway through the year already (eek), but putting that (and those feelings) aside, June was a very good reading month for me. So, lots of books to talk about today:
Happy Pride, everyone! I plan to share some Pride Month book recs as the month goes on, but for today, I'm going to talk about books I read in May. May was a rough reading month for me. I kept starting books and putting them aside because I just couldn't figure out what I was in the mood to read. I'm a huge mood reader—is anyone else that way? And I just hate it when I just can't get into a string of books that I know I'd enjoy at a different time. So frustrating! Fingers crossed that June's reading goes better. I did read a few books in May that I want to mention:
I've spent the entire first week of May reminding myself that it's May—April kind of got away from me. I did read a few fantastic books in April, though. I'm still suffering from a book hangover from one of them!
March was one of those reading months when I had trouble deciding what to read and getting into books and then reading those I do pretty slowly. I started some books and put them aside and could not decide what I was in the mood for. I hate it when my brain decides to do that! (Anyone else have those issues?) But, I did do some reading this month:
Does anyone else feel like February absolutely flew by? I spent it extremely focused on adding words to the second Dragons of Ivria book to meet the JeRoWriMo challenge...and because I really need to finish writing this book, of course! But I still did some reading. Even when I'm busy writing, I need to read as well to get out of my own head and to escape into someone else's world and refill the creative well. Here are some books I enjoyed in February:
I am working hard on the second Dragons of Ivria book in this month's JeRoWriMo challenge, but I wanted to sneak in my usual reading post (and then dive right back into writing!). January was a good reading month for me. I did some rereading and also read some fantastic new to me books. Many were continuations of series that I've been enjoying, and most were either fantasy or paranormal romances.
