Show Us Your Books: September!

September 11, 2018

Life According to Steph

It’s been 3months since my last link up but for most of the summer I was running around like crazy getting ready for the move so I didn’t get a lot of time to read.  But for some the amount of books was probably still more than normal.

 **Reading Challenge Update as of 9/11/18: 86 of 120 books read for the year!**

Here are some of my favorites from the past 3 months…..

Still Me (****) I wasn’t a big fan of the 2nd book in the series but I wanted to give this one a try and I am glad I did. I enjoyed it, I loved following the experience of a new city with Louisa and the dreaded insecurity in long distance relationships! 

The Kiss Quotient (****) This was a fun read, definitely interesting. I am not sure quite sure how I felt about the guy but I appreciated the different take (her having Aspergers)

Soulless (***1/2) I don’t know what I was expecting but sometimes it felt like there was just enough to keep me interested but also parts that I could catch myself skimming because there was a useless amount of words to describe something…if that makes sense? They are a mix of like steampunk, supernatural, romance…I still went on to read the other 2 books in the series…Changeless, Blameless, and I’m currently reading the last one. 

Flawed (****) I liked these but I am also such a fan of weird post apocalyptic societies and weird rules. I wanted to punch some of the characters which I like since it means Im getting invested. I went on to read Perfect too…but I think that is probably where my interest ends. If the series continues I probably won’t read the next.

Carve the Mark (****) So I started the book…got a little bored and time ran out on my library rental (only 21 days) I ended up adding it to the list again and once I got past the beginning I really enjoyed the book. I’m currently  #54 on 6 copies so it could be awhile till I get to read the next one!

Dumplin’ (****) This was on everyone’s list awhile ago which is why I just got around to reading it…thank you stupid library waitlist….but I thought it was a fun read. I started using it as my poolside read for the week. The jealous friend thing is so real for that age, I couldn’t help but be amused.

I didn’t have any DNF which was nice…but sometimes when I get on a romance kick I end up reading like 4-8 books in a row…soo….I ended up reading a bunch of Ellen Hilderbrand books including…

The entire Winter Street Series!

  • Winter Street
  • Winter Stroll
  • Winter Storms
  • Winter Solstice

That is my little recap. There were a few more books but I didn’t want to make this a giant list! I can’t wait to read all your posts and add to me TBR list!
