Hello! Before we welcome October and another month of (hopefully) great reading, I’m excited to share the books and content I loved in September. With this September audio & more post, I’ve combined my previous Monthly Reflections and Reading Simplified into this new Monthly Surprise Book Recs & More. It’s basically the same content I used to put separately into each of those posts - audio reviews of books I read that I haven’t shared anywhere else yet, all the books I read ranked with star ratings, other content/products/links I loved throughout the month, and any other random thoughts on my mind for the month. If you enjoy getting your book recommendations while walking the dog, doing laundry, driving to work, etc, this podcast format is for you!
This month has been a STELLAR reading month for me, but I’ve also really loved a couple podcasts and tv shows which I’ll be sharing. I finished three fantastic surprise reads that I’m reviewing in the audio podcast today, one of which has most likely launched itself into my top book of the year so far spot for this year. I cannot stop thinking about it and as you’ll hear, I couldn’t stop talking about it either:) Life wise, Vinny and I have continued enjoying our daily walks, more so since the days have finally gotten a bit cooler. We also enjoyed some end of the season time at the lake, fall sunsets and euchre, yes please!
In October, I’m looking forward to challenging myself with a couple different types of books (classics!), as well as reading a bit for the season. I’m hoping to find a scary or creepy mystery or thriller to curl up with under a blanket as the days get shorter before Halloween.
If you’d like to hear about the 5 star surprise reads I read this month, consider upgrading to paid today! You’d also have access to previous surprise monthly reads, as well as the entire archive, and you’d be helping to keep Itsbooktalk & More running:)
ICYMI……
