Hello friends!

I hope you’re doing well! Today I’m bringing you my Wrap Up for the month of September. Just like I was predicting, this was a slower reading month for me. Still, I was able to read a few books this month and I want to share them with you today!

Let’s take a look:

1. Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow: 4.5/5⭐
2. Alice in Borderland, Vol. 3 (Omnibus edition) by Haro Aso: 4/5⭐
3. Alice in Borderland, Vol. 4 (Omnibus edition) by Haro Aso: 4/5⭐
4. Alice in Borderland, Vol. 5 (Omnibus edition) by Haro Aso: 4/5⭐
5. How Much Love Can a Heart Hold? by Angela Panayotopulos: 3.5/5⭐
6. The Mermaid in the Millpond by Lucy Strange & Pam Smy: 3.5/5⭐
7. Avocado Magic by Taltal Levi: 3.75/5⭐

I finally finished “Girl in Pieces”! I’ve started this book in June, but I had some trouble picking it up. It’s not that I wasn’t liking it, but I wasn’t in the mood to read it. So this month I forced myself to finish it and I was able to do it! I liked the story, but I have to say: it’s not for the faint of heart. This is a tough book to read, but it was definitely worth it.

As you can see, I’m still reading the “Alice in Borderland” manga series. I started this series in August, and so far I’m loving it. I’m also rewatching the tv show while reading this, so it’s fun to see the differences and similarities between them. This month I read the 3rd, 4th and 5th volumes!

I’ve also picked an ARC from BookSirens named “How Much Love Can a Heart Love?”. It’s a cute children’s book that talks about sisterhood with poetry, paired with beautiful illustrations. Was a quick read, but made me think a lot about my sister and how much I appreciate her.

Another book I read was the middle grade “Mermaid in the Millpond”. I first picked this up because I recognized Pam Smy as the illustrator, and I’m a huge fan of her work! I would describe this short book as a darker middle grade story – I wouldn’t necessarily call it a graphic novel, since there’s more text than images. It’s a sad book that talks about friendship, freedom, kindness and being vulnerable when you’re hurt.

I’ve also picked up an ARC from NetGalley for a children’s book named “Avocado Magic”. In this cute book, a father explains to his daughter that her growth is very slow, but it is there. So to help her understand, they sprout together an avocado seed to show her how slow growth can be. It’s a book that teaches children to be patient and show them how we grow slowly! It’s a very beautiful book with beautiful illustrations that I definitely recommend if you have children.

As usual, I’ll be posting the reviews for these books soon!
