This is Sparrow and Smokey, the two kitties I let my niece and sister talk me into adopting. They spent most of their lives living in the animal clinic where my niece was working so they‘re still adjusting to living in a house. Smokey is shy and likes to hide out in the back room. Sparrow seems to be having no problem making herself at home.

September wasn‘t a great reading month. I‘ve been in and out of depression since having to put Hermione to sleep and it started getting hard to concentrate on my books. I finished the rest of A Dance with Dragons and made it through the two shorter novels and then started watching a lot of TV. I just started getting out of my reading funk so I‘m hoping to get more reading done for October.

Third time reading this. Fantastic collection of horror stories, including Graveyard Shift, The Mangler, Sometimes They Come Back, Children of the Corn, and many more. Strawberry Spring is one of my top favorites in this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Girl. A Prince. A Monster.

I wasn‘t sure how I felt about this at first but after a few chapters I got pulled into the story and found myself really enjoying it. It was a very dark story with a lot of fighting, a lot of blood, and a dangerous love. I would recommend to lovers of dark/gothic fantasy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was such a good story and a fairly quick read. I read this in two sittings. Like Rosemary‘s Baby, this book was gripping and suspenseful, and kept me on the edge of my seat. Definitely recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a reread. Probably my fourth time reading this book. The scary parts weren‘t as scary as they were the first couple times I read this but the story was just as good and thrilling as it was the first time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘The days of my childhood kept turning over; dissolving like sea foam on the crest of the waves. I have been counting them; the days and the nights, the weeks, the months, the years. I have been waiting for this day.‘

I wasn‘t too crazy about the ending but I did like this story. It was dark, well written, and I absolutely loved the sea witch. Also, gorgeous cover art. Great for readers who love mermaids and fairytale retellings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1. Great collection of stories.
2. Not really. We don‘t travel much.
3. No kids.

‘What is the worst thing you‘ve ever done?‘

I read this one over a couple months last year. It is a very detailed, well written small town horror story that has some slight Salem‘s Lot vibes to it. This is a long read so I would only recommend it to those who like a lot of detail in their stories. Overall I enjoyed it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I saw a lot of mixed reviews for this one so I wasn‘t sure what to expect. I actually enjoyed the story. My first job was in a restaurant so I liked the restaurant setting and I thought the writing was pretty good. The cable series isn‘t bad, either. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1. Alice‘s Adventures In Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass - Lewis Carroll
2. I haven‘t read many funny books but I have laughed out loud at stuff I‘ve read in Stephen King stories. Like some of the thoughts his characters have.

4. Sausage and pancakes with maple syrup.

Whenever I see this line I automatically think of Game of Thrones and hear it in my head in Sean Bean‘s voice.

A fun adventure story on the high seas. Great follow up to Daughter of the Pirate King.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Discover the joy of Christmas through the ages with these four time-travel historical romance stories.

I don‘t read a lot of romance novels but I did enjoy this collection of holiday stories. This would make a great seasonal read for romance lovers.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1. Stephen King is my favorite author. I usually reread my favorite King novels whenever I‘m in a slump.

2. I have not read all of his books. I‘ve been adding them to my TBR piles and slowly working my way through them to get them all read.

“The sea is not as mysterious as you think,” Amelia said. “You only have to swim under the surface.”

I found this to be a highly enjoyable read. I love books with coastal/ocean settings and sea based fairy tales and this one did not disappoint. Wonderful writing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My Amazon First Reads picks for September.

My August wrap up. August was a terrible month for me, with my cat being sick and then having to put her to sleep. I only managed to finish The Mermaid and most of A Dance with Dragons.

1. This is actually a reread. Hoping to finish by the end of the month.
2. Not really. Probably just more reading and watching movies.
3. Chocolate Chip
4. I played the trumpet in elementary/middle school.

Last Friday we found out that our kitty‘s health issues were more severe than we had thought. Last night we had to say goodbye to our sweet furbaby Hermione. She was the sweetest cat I ever had. She was my shadow, my reading buddy, and my feline best friend. The house already feels empty without her. 💔💔

My furbaby has been having some health issues lately so I haven‘t been able to read much this month. I‘m definitely looking forward to a good readathon. I hope to get a few books finished and, maybe, make it to 24 hours this time. 📚📚
