September ’17 Haul & Wrap-up

September 30, 2017

September is literally my favorite month to say goodbye to, because… well, y’know, it means October is starting, and – I really talk about my love for the month of October too much, don’t I?

I had a pretty stellar reading month, and a shamefully good haul month, so let’s cut to the chase!

    1. Oh my freaking god. You. Are. Insane.
      [And I STILL HAVE MY REQUEST PENDING ON THE HAZELFREAKINGWOOD]

      But. Seriously.
      INSANE.

      – At least I have my birthday and road trip as an excuse for my ridiculous haul, haha :’D]

      1. Bahahahaah I KNOW. It’s a curse. October will be rough too because of my birthday and thrifting. Sooooo if my November haul isn’t like “lol jk just these 2 netgalley ARCs”… MAKE ME STOP lmao.

        1. I’m pretty sure there’s no stopping you.. Like.. At all, haha!
          I’m hoping I’ll remember your birthday on the day itself but since I’m a disaster when it comes to remembering dates.. HAPPY WAY TOO EARLY BIRTHDAY :’D

    1. Wow! Impressive haul 🙂 and you also read a whole lot, very cool!

      I remember ‘Poison Study’ – read that ages ago and liked it, have fun with it!
