Once again I am taking advantage of the fancy Storygraph wrap-up graphics! So, here’s my reading stats for September, for a peek at reviews to come or those already live. September’s favourite: While The Luminaries and A Fate Inked in Blood are strong contenders, I really did love Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood, so it’ll have to win! Through September I honestly didn’t read that much, life has…

Reading Adventures!

I finished Ada's Algorithm by James Essenger. I enjoyed the book a lot, and inadvertedly learned more about computers and their function than I expected. I felt like the author overstated his case a little, as Ada in fact only created a program for Babbage's machine, not one that can be used for any computer. Also, he states that there is not a direct line between Babbage's machine and the first modern computer, which confused me. I thought the whole point of the book was that Ada wrote a computer program for the first computer?

Anyway, I did enjoy the book, although the long chapters with a deep dive into Lord Byron's entire childhood and life was unnecessary. The author also states repeatedly that Lord Byron cast a long shadow over Ada's life, even though her mother left him when Ada was a year old. The author never flushes out this statement and leaves the reader confused as to what he meant.

Another month already?? Here's my September reads! Here's to a spooky month 👻

Ratings and reviews under the cut c:

Happy reading <3

Three of Hearts by Lillian Lark - 2.75/5. It was a decent story. Great smut. As always, the pregnancy wasn't my favorite thing but I knew it would happen so it wasnt terrible. I did like the relationship dynamic. It felt a little rushed to me.

Damned by Chuck Palahniuk - 3.5/5. It's an interesting story. I can honestly say I've never read anything like it. It made me giggle on multiple occasions and while I was hesitant at first at the thought of a 13 year old narrator, she quickly grew on me. The world is cleverly marked out and interesting to explore. I never saw the twist coming either. It's a very lighthearted, quick, easy read.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie - 3/5. Awesome twists and turns. Never expected the ending. Did drag on at times.

Her Soul to Take by Harley Laroux - 5/5. So. Amazing. I was completely enamored from start to finish. The world was amazingly built. The creatures so dark and mysterious. The romance was immaculately progressed. And the smut?? Oh my lord the smut. The holt grail. It was perfectly spaced with just the right amount and the scenes were unmatched. This is the perfect mixture of horror, thriller, and romance. I loved it.

The Laughing Corpse by Laurell K. Hamilton 4.75/5. Amazing sequel. Almost as good as the first but not quite. That’s the only reason it’s not 5 stars. I still loved the characters and the how the story unfolds. I always love that there’s never a dull moment. Onto the third!

Games We Play by Dana Isaly - 3/5. Seemed a bit childish at times?

Circus of the Damned by Laurell K. Hamilton - 3.5/5. This isn't my favorite book from the series so far but it was still just what I needed. It wasn't as action packed as some of the others nor was it as gripping but I still thoroughly enjoyed the read.

The Lunatic Cafe by Laurell K. Hamilton - 3/5. So it was good. It wasn't the best of the series so far but it still was still just as gripping and well written as the ones before it.

The Invitation by Roxy Sloane - 3/5. It was hot and all but he said Juicy when he plunged his fingers into her and I kinda just 😐

September Reads

Friday 3rd

Fall weather is settling in even when it is not quite fall.

I am enjoying the reading I have been doing this past week. Instead of reading the books as fast as possible because of a deadline, I am taking a nice leisurely pace with them, reading whenever I have a spare moment.

For this Friday Reads, I will be continuing with Salt Houses by Hala Alyan, and Molly of the Mall by Heidi L. M. Jacobs. Both are fascinating in their own way.

Two books I am thinking about starting this week:

1. On Such A Full Sea by Chang-Rae Lee

2. Actress by Anne Enright.

On Such a Full Sea is a literary dystopian novel, and Actress explores the life of an Irish theatre legend in Old Hollywood and on the East End stage. This may prove to be an interesting pairing this week.

The Rural Diaries: Love, Livestock, and Big Life Lessons Down on Mischief Farm ~ Hilarie Burton Morgan (2020) ❤️❤️❤️❤️ For those of you who watched One Tree Hill, or a slew of adorable Christmas shows, or White Collar, you will recognize Hilarie Burton Morgan. This memoir is a fun, funny, and cute read about a young woman finding her joy in the simple things - life partnership, children, donkeys, alpacas, and growing things from the land. Written in the style of a friend sharing what they have been up to for the last few years, the reader feels engrossed in the story and falls as deeply in love with Rhinebeck, NY as Burton Morgan falls in love with the village and becomes part of the fabric of her community. She makes it very clear that the dream of Hollywood did not fulfill her, and that her marriage is wonderful and hard and takes work, but as is demonstrated through all of her stories, the things that mean the most to her take work and are so worth it in the end. I must say that this book gave me a serious desire to give up my suburban lifestyle and go find myself a farm with chickens and enjoy the village lifestyle as she presents it. This is a lovely read, and I recommend it as a nice end of summer book. It is the type of book that you can read by the pool, or with a glass of wine, or devour (as I did) in one sitting. #bookstagram #hilarieburtonmorgan #hilarieburton #theruraldiaries #memoir #smalltown #farmlife #farmgirl #jeffreydeanmorgan #2020 #nonfictionbooks #septemberreads #feelgoodbook #rhinebeck #upstatenewyork #read #readingaddict #readerlife #booksbooksbooks #bookcoverdesign #onetreehill #dramaqueens #mustreadbooks (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTVsQAMpPga/?utm_medium=tumblr

I finished Apollo's Legacy by Roger Launius.

I really enjoyed this deep discussion into the long lasting effects on our culture that Apollo has had. In the last two chapters, I felt like he repeated himself a lot, but my speech teacher always did say that you should repeat your premise at least seven times in your speech 😆

I really liked it. 5 stars.

I’m usually taking a nap between 1-4 , working over night I must do this. I am a huge Eve Chase fan and have loved all the books I’ve read so far by her. I love the gothic feel of them.
