September 2025 Book Haul

In September, I hauled 6 books and spent $45.86 on my quarterly Owlcrate subscription. I have saved $91.09 on the remainder of the books I hauled because they were from my local library. I have read 4 of the 6 hauled books and my ratio of read to unread has dropped to 84% (only 1% change from last month). Overall, I have 15 books that I have hauled in 2025 left to read, which is incredible for me. I'm not reading as quickly through my books as I did in the beginning of the year with marching band happening, but I'm also hauling fewer books that I normally do too, so it is balancing out! 

PURCHASED BOOKS

  1. Well, Actually by Mazey Eddings (Hardcover)

LIBRARY BOOKS
  1. Blood in the Water by Tiffany D. Jackson (Audio)
  2. A Curse Carved in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen (Audio)
  3. The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune (Audio)
  4. Radio Silence by Alice Oseman (Audio)
  5. Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune (Audio)
