What I've Been Reading - September

10/13/2016

0 Comments

 
I'm a bit late with this post this month. It's halfway through October (somehow...) and I'm just writing about the books I loved in September. Sigh. We can blame the push to finishing writing and to edit Tournai 5, and that's not really a bad thing, right? Anyway, here are some books I really enjoyed last month:

Spindrift by Amy Rae Durreson - Sweet and sad and lovely and a bit creepy. The ghost story definitely creeped me out, but not enough to stop reading (I don't like being scared!), and I thought Mattie and Sion were very sweet together. I enjoyed the whole thing—romance, mystery, and ghost story.

Empty Net by Avon Gale - I really love Avon Gale's Scoring Chances series. You don't have to read them in order and you don't have to know hockey to enjoy these books (but you should read them all). Laurent broke my heart in this book, and I just loved him and Isaac together. I also loved the father-son type relationship that develops between Misha and Isaac. I adored Misha in the last book so I loved seeing him again. I also thought it was great to see a demisexual main character.

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli - I don't read a lot of Young Adult, but I'd heard so many good things that I finally gave this one a try. I am so happy I did. This book was just so adorable and funny and such a feel good read. All of the characters are engaging, and the ending was very sweet.

Connection Error by Annabeth Albert - I continue to enjoy each new book in this series (this one does stand alone but go read the others too). I enjoyed both the developing friendship and romance between Josiah and Ryan and how the book portrayed them. Ryan is a double amputee who is learning to cope with his disability, and Josiah has ADHD. The book definitely shows the effect that has on his life.

Overexposed by Megan Erickson - So many feelings in this book! I really fell for Levi and Theo who meet and fall in love while hiking the Appalachian Trail (something I would never do because I am not really the outdoorsy type, but that was portrayed well here I thought). I may have cried a bit. It was also really wonderful to find another demisexual MC in this book.

Apprentice in Death by JD Robb - This is the 43rd book in the series about Eve Dallas, Roarke, and their friends. I've read them all and always enjoy catching up with the characters in the next book.

The Pirate of Fathom's Deep by Megan Derr - The second book of the Tales of the High Court fantasy romance series, though you could probably read it as a standalone. I really enjoyed this fantasy, and the first in the series. The world was easy to get lost in and the characters easy to care about. 

What have you read lately and loved? Or what are you planning to read next?
