September Wrap-Up

September was a busy month for me with not a lot of reading.

I spent the first half of the month occupied with the Writing Excuses cruise to Alaska. First packing and prepping, then going on the actual cruise (which was great!), and then recovering and catching up on all the annoying life stuff I’d neglected while I’d been away. Not to mention, as soon as I got home, I had to scramble to get Poison of Power finished and published. Which it is now! So check it out if you’re curious about my new secondary world fantasy series. 🙂

Outbox

I finished ONE book in September. Jade City by Fonda Lee. It was excellent, and I really enjoyed it, and now I want to binge the rest of the series while the first book is still fresh in my head.

I started reading The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten, but I didn’t finish it. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it, but it sort of grew on me the more I read. I’m past the evaluation point (25%) and am pretty sure that I’ll actually finish it now that I have a little more time for reading.

In-Progress

Aside from The Foxglove King, I’ve started reading A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher and Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh.

I’m working on a whole post on my end of the year reading plans, so right now all I’ll say is that if I want to keep up with my Adventure in Aeldia plans (aka my only 2023 reading goal), I need to read Bone Crier’s Moon by Kathryn Purdie this month. So that’s next up as soon as I finish a couple of my in-progress books. I may even try to grab a copy of it on audiobook so I can alternate between reading the hardcover and listening while I’m doing chores and stuff around the house.
