My Most Anticipated Releases for October

I started out getting this post ready with only four or five books and then boom, hello tons of books I want to read. This is how TBRs get out of control!

OCTOBER 1

The Rule of One

Top Ten Books by My Favorite Authors that I Still Haven't Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. More information here.

So it was kind of hard for me to find books from favorite authors because I was like...wait what do I consider a favorite author. Someone who I have read more than one of their books? A debut book that was amazing and I meant to read more of their books? Ugh.

Top Ten Books on my Fall 2018 TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. More information here.

I'm doing horribly with my seasonal TBRs...honestly, just horribly. From my summer TBR, I have read 4 of the 10. I am currently reading 2 of the remaining 6. I recently wrote down all my books that made my different TBRs so far in 2018 (and my winter 2017/2018 TBR), so this is going to build straight on that.

Top Ten Hidden [Book] Gems

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. More information here.

This was a little harder than I thought it would be because I tend to read hyped books but like really late, so I don't usually have books on my read list that not a lot of other people haven't read. But here are my favorite hidden gems.

August Book Haul

 Check out the books I hauled for the month of August!

It's almost time for me to start my unhaul challenge and so I'm keeping with my format of separating physical books, ebooks, and library books. I have read 2 of the books I hauled here (Leah and Soul Surfer). Trying to keep my haul numbers low until I read some of the stuff I have in my possession!

Books I Read in August

I have a brand new banner for some of my regular posts. Hope it'll look better on my blog :) In August, I read 7 books. I'm pleasantly surprised because I also finished an entire term (6 months) in the month. 4 classes in August! So 7 books is a miracle :)

Top Ten Bingeworthy TV Shows

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. More information here.

I love this topic because I know I will find new shows to add to my Netflix/Hulu queue. I honestly have been binging so many tv shows lately because I don't watch them as they air (next day on Hulu) or get released (on Netflix - looking at you, OITNB).

#AYearAThon [September TBR]

Each first full week of the month, a #AYearAThon readathon is held and there are themes and challenges for each month. In the month of September, the theme is #OWNVOICES with the challenge of reading short stories. It runs from September 3 to 9.

The Sword of Summer (Displaced/Homeless MC) // Not Otherwise Specified (Black MC)

Updated on 9/20: Late to update but I didn't end up picking up either of these books to read :/

Total books finished: 0

Total pages read: 0

September Monthly TBR & Challenge Updates

September is going to be my month to concentrate on books that I have started or put on TBRs in the past 8 months and I would like to make a dent in them. I'm trying to make time for everything and really be mindful of how I'm spending my time. BALANCE. Super super important. I'm also starting an unhaul challenge, like how Books and Lala did her closet unhaul, but with different rules. So I'm not only trying to finish books that I've picked up or were on TBRs, but also books that I hauled in that particular month a year ago. I've also been slacking on Netgalley and Owlcrate reads.

My Tentative TBR for September:

• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling (started, was on my Summer TBR, May TBR, and a readathon TBR; hauled in Sept 2017)
• Before She Ignites by Jodi Meadows (started, was on my Summer TBR, and is an Owlcrate book; hauled in Sept 2017)
• Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth (was on my Winter TBR; hauled in Sept 2017)
• Grace and Fury by Tracy Banghart (my current Owlcrate book)
