This has been another slow month for me. I’ve only read four books and I know exactly who is to blame! Glass Sword. That book just drained the life out of me. Anyway, let’s get into it.
Surviving the Angel of Death: The Story of a Mengele Twin in Auschwitz by Eva Mozes Kor
5/5 stars
This is the first book I read in September and it was a very educative read. I got it via NetGalley and I am so glad I requested it. It’s one of those books that people should read and be aware of. I have a more thorough review of it, if you are interested in hearing my thoughts.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll
5/5 stars
This was a re-read, of course. It was due. I hadn’t read it in a long time. Such amazing nonsense, it’s genius. If you have not read this book at least once in your life, I feel sorry for you. I do not have a review of this one since it was a re-read, but it’s only like 100 pages. Just read it.
Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard
1/5 stars
This book sucked the life and joy out of me. It took me over a month to finish and I almost gave up on it. But I don’t like not finishing books, so I pushed through it. I have a full review of it if you want to know why exactly this book made me so angry and why I hated it so much.
Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
4.5/5 stars
Probably my favourite book this month! I also – you guessed it – have a review of it. It has left me wanting more, like SJM books usually do and also, I am so excited about meeting Sarah next week! *squeeeeeeeee* I can’t wait! There will probably be a post about that later this week, so stay tuned for that.
I think ‘amazing nonsense’ is the perfect phrase to describe Alice in Wonderland! XD I’ve just started Empire of Storms and I’m so excited to finally be reading it! Have you planned out what you want to read in October yet? 🙂

I don’t generally plan what I read. I just sort of read what I feel like.

Ah that’s cool, I enjoy mood reading just as much as I enjoy planning out which books I want to get to 🙂

Yeah, I’d probably just end up not sticking to the plan anyway and then I’d just be annoyed at myself. So it’s better this way.

Surviving the Angel of Death sounds like a powerful book. It is definitely the kind of book that I would want to read especially since I have never read anything based on Auschwitz. Have a wonderful October. Happy reading:-)
