2018 Reading Updates: September Update

So… Apparently September is “Christmas books”-month? Or at least, that’s what NetGalley would have me believe. Also, I read a lot this month and I have no idea how I did it? Which, you know, is a common thread throughout some of these updates. But still – this month was kind of crazy. Honestly.

What I thought

Well, first of all, I think I am now very much ready for Christmas and Winter and colder temperatures.

Second: this list consists of about as much ARC’s as it consists of books that I already owned. Let me just put it this way: you have a lot of holiday-y bookreviews to look forward to, this coming blog-mas!

So… This usually doesn’t happen so early in the year… Finished my @goodreads reading challenge! #bookblogger pic.twitter.com/1Zpt7LpTm1

Also, this month I completed my Goodreads Readding Challenge! In September! LIke, what??

And finally, because, yes, this update is going to be rather short: I remember again why I started to love reading. It’s always been my escape from anything in life getting too much, and my job has absolutely been exactly that these last couple of weeks. It’s not much (or anything!) of an exaggeration to say I’m struggling at least a bit, and books are basically one of the three reasons I’m still standing. Somewhat. Either way – I expect more reading of fluffy, fun books to come. I don’t have the mental space for much right now. And, honestly? I need books if I’m going to survive these next couple of weeks. So how’s that for a reading update? 🙂

Anyways – what have you been reading this past month? Did you make any reading goals for yourself this year? Maybe even this month? If so, how are you doing on them? Be sure to let me know below!
