Monthly Wrap Up: September + October 2013

 
monthlywrapup

I didn’t do a Monthly Wrap Up post for September because I was busy celebrating my blogoversary, so I decided to do both September and October’s Wrap Up post at the end of this month.

September:
I managed to read a grand total of 7 books in September, which is bad.

1. Saving Grace by Julie Garwood (Rating: 4.0/5.0)
2. Once We Were by Kat Zhang (Rating: 3.5/5.0)
3. The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas (Rating: 3.5/5.0)
4. The Gift by Julie Garwood (Rating: 2.0/5.0)
5. 3:59 by Gretchen McNeil (Rating: 3.0/5.0)
6. The Chaos of Stars by Kiersten White (Rating: 3.0/5.0)
7. Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost (Rating: 4.0/5.0)
Average Book Rating: 3.3/5.0

Favorite Book Read In September

This book! This book! The romance! -flails and fangirls all over the book-

 
October:
I managed to read a grand total of 8 books in October, which is still bad. ):
But then again, I had 1.5 weeks worth of midterms, and I still have a midterm this Monday, so I did pretty good, considering.

1. Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles (Rating: 2.5/5.0)
2. Defiance by C.J. Redwine (Rating: 4.0/5.0)
3. Deception by C.J. Redwine (Rating: 4.0/5.0)
4. Pawn by Aimee Carter (Rating: 4.0/5.0)
5. Where the Stars Still Shine by Trish Doller (Rating: 2.5/5.0)
6. Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer by Katie Alender (Rating: 2.0/5.0)
7. Perfect Ruin by Lauren DeStefano (Rating: 2.0/5.0)
8. Duke of Midnight by Elizabeth Hoyt (Rating: 3.0/5.0)
Average Book Rating: 3.0/5.0

Favorite Book Read In October

Pawn is a dystopian you definitely want to pick up. It’s unique, will hold your attention on every single page, and just look at that pretty cover!

    This is an awesome giveaway Kelly! Thank you so much for offering it up :D I’ve been dying to read The Burning Sky but haven’t gotten a chance to yet. I even won it but I think I unwon it so that sucked. Hopefully I have better luck this time around :)

      Ha ha, glad you love it Hillary. ;D
      The Burning Sky and Pawn are my two favorite books for September and October after all. :P
      How do you unwin a book? That’s just weird. o___o

        I thought I unwon it because it never arrived with the other books I had won. And no one ever told me if it was part of the giveaway or not. That’s why I thought I unwon it :3

      I think you’ll enjoy Pawn Montana; it’s such a gripping read!
      The Burning Sky’s romance is the BEST.
