Wrap-Up | What I Read in September, October and November 2021

Hello everyone!

It’s time for another Wrap Up, and this time I’m condensing the Wrap Ups from September, October and November all in a single post. I didn’t have a lot of time to write these in the past, so I decided to do them all here! So let’s start from the beginning: the month of September.

When it comes to the books I planned to read in September, I failed big time. I planned on reading 5 books and I didn’t read a single one of them – that was a new record for me! I started 3 of them but I wasn’t feeling them, so I ended up reading other books. Here are the books I wanted to read in September:

I’m honestly not that bothered because I always try to not judge myself if I don’t read the books I want. Plus, I ended up reading 7 other books instead! Here they are:

  1. Hungry Hearts: 13 Tales of Food edited by Elsie Chapman and Caroline Tung Richmond: 2/5⭐
  2. The Doll’s House (Helen Grace #3) by M.J. Arlidge: 3.75/5⭐
  3. The Meaning of Mariah Carey by Mariah Carey: 3.5/5⭐
  4. A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena: 4.5/5⭐
  5. I Am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll: 3.75/5⭐
  6. Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas: 4.25/5⭐
  7. The Butterfly Bruises by Palmer Smith: 4/5⭐

I’m more than okay with reading 7 books per month, even if they weren’t the ones I originally planned on reading! “Hungry Hearts” was the only book I didn’t love, so it was a good month! But this is where the reading slump started…

In October I didn’t make any reading plans because I was starting to get very busy and I found myself in a massive reading slump. I had no desire to pick any of the books that were on my general TBR, so I decided to pick my all time favorite series to help me get out of the reading slump: The Selection series. So here’s what I read in October:

  1. The Selection (The Selection #1) by Kiera Cass: 5/5⭐
  2. The Elite (The Selection #2) by Kiera Cass: 5/5⭐
  3. The One (The Selection #3) by Kiera Cass: 5/5⭐
  4. The Red Button by Keith Eldred: 4/5⭐
  5. The Unexpected Duchess (Playful Brides #1) by Valerie Bowman: 3/5⭐

“The Selection” series helped me a lot with my reading slump and I loved rereading the original trilogy! Also, I had to read “The Red Button” in October because the author asked me, so that is what I did. And I also started a new historical romance series named “The Playful Brides” series by Valerie Bowman. This was my first ever historical romance, and even though I didn’t love it, I still wanted to continue the series… and that’s what I did in November.

I went through the month of November without a TBR list as well, and things went great! My reading slump hit the road and I read a lot of amazing books. Here’s what I read:

  1. The Dinner Guest by B.P. Walter: 3.75/5⭐
  2. Incarceron (Incarceron #1) by Catherine Fisher: 3.75/5⭐
  3. If Cats Disappeared From the World by Genki Kawamura: 4.5/5⭐
  4. The Accidental Countess (Playful Brides #2) by Valerie Bowman: 3/5⭐
  5. The Unlikely Lady (Playful Brides #3) by Valerie Bowman: 4.5/5⭐
  6. The Irresistible Rogue (Playful Brides #4) by Valerie Bowman: 3.25/5⭐
  7. The Unforgettable Hero (Playful Brides #4.5) by Valerie Bowman: 3.25/5⭐
  8. Words on Bathroom Walls by Julia Walton: 4/5⭐
  9. All the Stars and Teeth (All the Stars and Teeth #1) by Adalyn Grace: 3/5⭐
  10. Five Total Strangers by Natalie D. Richards: 2/5⭐
  11. The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward: 5/5⭐

I read A LOT in November! I continued “The Playful Brides” series and since I was in a darker mood, I read some thrillers too. “The Last House on Needless Street” surprised me a lot and if you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend it! It’s important to say that it’s the kind of book people either love or hate, but you should give it a go. It was a very successful reading month and I’m very happy with all the books I read.

Let me know how your reading month (or trimestre) was! Thank you for reading, I’ll see you guys later 🙂

xoxo,
