September Book Haul

I keep trying to keep my hauled books down and then I get a million and a half from the library or request new Netgalley books. However, I will say this, I only paid for one book out of the whole month and that is Horrid because it was in my Owlcrate box. The rest were all free, gifted, or borrowed. I ended up returning The Guinevere Deception because I didn't read it. I did read The Bone Witch, Malorie, and Would Like To Meet. I'm currently reading/listening to The Darkest Minds, This Shattered World, and the Heart Forger.

October TBR & Monthly Challenge

Another month and another fun challenge to do for Words & Whimsy Reading Challenge. I'm once again asking that you check it out [har har] because truthfully, it is the most put-together reading group and they are champions of diversity and inclusion and I love to see it. They do book club reads and author chats. It's really awesome. This month's theme is Something Wicked and I'm on Team Marie Leveau. Below are my 20 and 10 point books. I found a lot of them on audio at my library and hope that will help me get through them all so I can rack up those points for my team. I'm looking forward to all of them :)

My Tentative TBR for October:

• Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi [Owlcrate Jr]
• The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory [audio]
  
• The Witches by Roald Dahl [audio]
  
• The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco  [audio]
• City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty [audio]
• Incendiary by Zoraida Cordova
• These Witches Don't Burn by Isabel Sterling
