September in Reading #MonthlyWrapUp
Hello readers! I hope you all are well and had great September. My month had been tiring emotionally and hectic physically. If you missed my post, I had to make few changes in life and with blog. Now that we are taking my daughter to speech therapist, trying to teach her make eye contact and follow what we say and also put her in playgroup for six month that is starting from Monday (her induction is tomorrow), my whole day goes after her and I only get time to blog and read at night or early in morning. I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I still managed to read 8 books that surprised me and not at the same time as I did less interactions than I usually do. Here is how month in reading go –

I’m still writing review on this but this had all the best trope- fake dating, opposite attracts, age gap, forced proximity- and honest depiction of women in STEM, BIPOC character, and life in academia.
Best book of the Month
Looking forward in October
Nothing much!
– I might start buddy reading The Cruel Prince with Toni.
– It’s a birthday month but I’m not buying any books as I already did last month and also we had extra expenses with therapy and playgroup.
Thank you for reading! Let’s chat…
Have you read any of these books or added to TBR? How was your month in reading? What are you planning to read in October?

8 books in a month is awesome, I can’t even read 1 in a month. But I would love to add at least 1 from the list to my TBR. Let me check the detailed reviews.

Hope your daughter is enjoying the playgroup.It took my little one some time to get used to his,but it was worth it. I really need to get the Love Hypothesis-your review convinced me this is the book I need right now 🙂 Wishing you a lovely October!
ashley @ socially awkward bookworm
Reading eight books is so great even with all the new changes happening and how busy you’ve been with your daughter. <3 I’ve been seeing the Love Hypothesis around a lot lately. I night have to check it out soon because it sounds pretty good. I hope you have a great October. 🙂
Books Teacup and Reviews
It surprised me to have read same number of books as well. But I’m sure it won’t be same this month as now I hardly have time to read. You’ll like love hypothesis. It was great. Have amazing October.
WendyW
You had a great month of reading, especially with all you have going on with your daughter. I’m so glad you enjoyed The Love Hypothesis, I plan to get to it in October and I’m really looking forward to it.

What a great wrap-up! I’ve seen many recommending The Love Hypothesis, I’ll have to check it out for myself 🙂

Kaya @ afictionalbookworm
crooked kingdom is so good! hope you have a wonderful october💜
Books Teacup and Reviews
Thank you, Kaya! It was amazing. I wist you amazing October as well.
Cherelle @ A Bolt out of the Book
All the best with your daughter’s induction tomorrow, and thank you for sharing about these books, I loved Crooked Kingdom and am hyped for The Love Hypothesis! <3
Books Teacup and Reviews
You’ll enjoy Love Hypothesis. Some reader found it a little slow after 50% of the book but for me it was good as first half was super fast and a steady paced second half gave little more time with characters and other things with academia setting. I hope you get to read it soon.
Lady Tessa
It looks like September was a pretty good month. You definitely read a lot of fun books! Hope October is great! Especially around your birthday ❤️
