In September I read a total of 9 books and 1,831 pages!
The Ancient Magus’ Bride by Kore Yamazaki: 3/5 stars. It was okay…I’m not going to continue on with the series though.
Heat of the Moment by Lauren Barnholdt: 1/5 stars. I couldn’t even get past the first 30 pages. I left a very tiny review here on Goodreads
The Lonesome Young by Lucy Connors (REVIEW): 4/5 stars. I really liked this, but thought it dragged on in a few places and ended a bit abruptly.
Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (REVIEW): 4/5 stars. A cute middle grade fantasy that came highly recommended!
Howl’s Moving Castle Film Comic, Vol. 1 by Hayao Miyazaki and Diana Wynne Jones: 3/5 stars. These are short little novellas that show the movie in comic form (basically). Definitely does not follow the book to a T which is a little disappointing, but they’re still an enjoyable read
Howl’s Moving Castle Film Comic, Vol. 2 by Hayao Miyazaki and Diana Wynne Jones: 3/5 stars (see above)
Howl’s Moving Castle Film Comic, Vol. 3 by Hayao Miyazaki and Diana Wynne Jones: 3/5 stars
Howl’s Moving Castle Film Comic, Vol. 4 by Hayao Miyazaki and Diana Wynne Jones: 3/5 stars
Death and the King’s Horseman: A Play by Wole Soyinka: 2/5 stars. This was something I had to read for class and I enjoyed it in the context of that setting, but it’s not something I’d ever pick up on my own
Forever Valley by Marie Redonnet: 1/5 stars. Again, another book I had to read for class and it was awful. Ughhhh required reading is sometimes the worst.
In October I want to read:
A Court of Thrones and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (reread)
Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman (ARC read)
Oh Howls Moving Castle! I adore the movie but I don’t think I want to read it.
Illuminae is one of my favorite years this year, like top 3. I hope you get to it!
