September 2019 Monthly Wrap-Up

::Waves:: Hello! It’s October 1st already and it’s time to do the monthly wrap-up for September. It was a pretty good month and October should be great too.

Books Read

This month, I read fifteen books and four short stories/novellas. I was getting ready for the releases of Rebel and The End and Other Beginnings, so I reread the Warcross duology, all the Legend novellas, and finished the Carve the Mark duology. Eight of these were rereads.

• City of Glass – Cassandra Clare (reread)
• Dive Smack – Demetra Brodsky
• Who Put this Song On? – Morgan Parker
• Naughts & Crosses – Malorie Blackman
• The Raven King – Maggie Stiefvater
• “Opal” – Maggie Stiefvater
• Shadow Frost – Coco Ma
• The Fates Divide – Veronica Roth (reread)
• City of Fallen Angels – Cassandra Clare (reread)
• And I Darken – Kiersten White
• Cilka’s Journey – Heather Morris
• That Night – Amy Giles
• The Fountains of Silence – Ruta Sepetys
• American Panda – Gloria Chao
• Warcross – Marie Lu (reread)
• Wildcard – Marie Lu (reread)
• Life Before Legend – Marie Lu (reread)
• Life After Legend – Marie Lu (reread)
• Life After Legend II – Marie Lu (reread)

Dive Smack counted for Massachusetts in the Read Around the World challenge, Cilka’s Journey counted for historical Russia, and The Fountains of Silence counted for historical Spain.

Blog Stats:

• Twitter made a few gains this month, breaking the 2100 mark with 2101.
• Blog users went up slightly again.

Writing:

I finished publishing Hero on AO3. Because it was a book that occurred after Champion and I wrote it before Rebel came out, I wanted it to come out before Rebel‘s release. I started writing Republican Runaways, the sequel to Republican Phenoms, and I’m on chapter 2. I tried to write a short story for a submission due at the end of the month, but that didn’t work out.

Life:

No trips to the hospital this month. Yay! It’s been pretty busy with school and trips to the doctor, but at least I can read while my family member is at the doctors. Other than that, not much has been going on.

So that’s about it! October is when a ton of amazing books are released. Don’t think much else is going on, but it should be a good month!
