September 2 – 22
I haven’t done one of these all month! Life and work got very busy but I managed to get a decent amount of reading in.
And even though this weekend is quite hot, I’m so happy that we are heading into my favourite season! I love when the leaves start to change and the temperature falls so that I can walk around in jeans and sweaters.
Another of my favourite things about this time of year is that I start really getting into spooky books and movies. I spent all day Saturday watching Marianne, which is a French eight-episode Netflix series and features some of the creepiest scenes I’ve watched. It was really good, and I’m definitely looking forward to a season two.
New books:
I received some ARCs via Edelweiss that I’m excited to read:
The Stars We Steal, Alexa Donne;
Be Not Far From Me, Mindy McGinnis; and
Yes No Maybe So, Becky Albertalli & Aisha Saeed.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for eARCs of Winterwood by Shea Earnshaw, and Our Wayward Fate by Gloria Chao.
Thank you to Raincoast Books for the ARC of Sara Faring’s The Tenth Girl!
