Book Recommendations for Spooky Season
I was unsure whether I was going to do this post this year because I just didn't feel like I've read enough 'spooky' books, but I think I have enough to put something together. These are all books I've read in the last year or so (you can see more spooky book recommendations here: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.) Shockingly though, no mystery thrillers this time! I mean, I have read mystery thrillers in the last year, but not any I was wowed by. I have lots of horror though! And some toward the end that are not scary, but the vibes fit for this time of year. Lol.

Spellcaster Wild Card Blitz + Giveaway
Omg it has been SOOO long since I've participated in a Blitz, so let's see if I remember how 😅 But I wanted to participate in this one because it's a book by Nikki Jefford, an author I love! Unfortunately, I am terribly behind on reading her books, but I am officially on a quest to catch up on everything I missed... starting with Spellcaster Wild Card!

I read a total of 17 books in September (not all of them were full-length novels though), which comes to around 4185 pages read 😯 Previously, May had been my most read month with about 3100 pages... this month I read 1000 pages (aka 10 books) more than that!

- 11 were physical books, 5 ebooks, and 1 was an audio/ebook combo
- 7 were 5-star books, 9 were 4-star books, and 1 was a 3-star book
- 2 were indie-published, and 15 were traditionally published
- 3 were by a new-to-me author and 14 were by authors I've previously read
