September Wrap-Up and October TBR

Hello all.

So apparently it's October.



Where did September go?

I have a feeling I'm going to say that every month, but anyway...

It's officially October, and thus we bid a fond farewell to September.  It wasn't as terrifying as I had initially thought it would be.  So there's that.

Let's take a look at what I did, shall we?

What I Read:

I READ SO MANY BOOKS THIS MONTH AHH.  I still can't believe how many I finished.  And overall, they were great.

Keeper of the Lost Cities ~ Shannon Messenger

Overview: Sophie Foster has been able to read minds since she was five, but it isn't until she's twelve that she discovers why.
Rating: 5 out of 5
Random thought: I thought for the entirety of the book that that was Fitz on the cover.  Turns out it's Dex.  Go figure.

How To Cheat a Dragon's Curse ~ Cressida Cowell

Overview: The fourth book in the "How to Train Your Dragon" series, Hiccup must journey to the island of the Hysterics to find the mythical Potato in order to save Fishlegs' life.

Overview: The fifth book of HTTYD, Hiccup encounters an ex-Hero, and must save the island from a volcano.

No Place Like Holmes ~ Jason Lethcoe
 
Overview: When Griffin is sent to London to spend the summer with his uncle at 221 Baker Street, he is excited at the prospect of working with the great Sherlock Holmes.  However, it turns out his uncle, the much lesser known detective Rupert Snodgrass, lives at 221A Baker Street.

What I Watched:


Leverage

This show is freaking fantastic. There's friendship, mayhem, and not-quite-legal acts of kindness. What more could you ask for?

The Voice

this is the VOICE *DA DA DA DAAAAA* I love this show. Mom and sister and I have been watching for at least 6 seasons now, and I love it even more every year. Although we aren't very far into this season, so I can't say much about it yet xD

Once Upon a Time

SEASON SIX, BABY. I'm so excited. So much is going to happen, I can feel it.

What I Listened To:

Music I discovered this month



THANK YOU CHLOE FOR HELPING ME FIGURE THIS OUT!!

Bet you didn't know that Tarzan was once on Broadway, did you? Or that Finding Nemo: the Musical is a thing. Well, now you know. You're welcome.


What I Did:

I TURNED 18

I'M LEGALLY AN ADULT

I CAN DO ADULTY THINGS

BE AFRAID

*cough*

My sister and I also started Irish Dancing lessons (don't ask for any terminology yet because I know next to nothing as of now xD) which is pretty awesome so far. 


What I Posted:

My goodness, I only posted three things this month.  It snuck out from under me, and it went a lot faster than I expected and so much happened and just... I'm not even going to try and make an excuse.

First, we took a look at the Twelve Dancing Princesses.
Then we went on an adventure in Keeper of the Lost Cities
And it was my birthday!!


And now, a glance into the future:

What I Plan to Read:

Masterminds: Criminal Destiny ~ Gordon Korman
book 2 yesssss

Keeper of the Lost Cities: Exile ~ Shannon Messenger
Yet another sequel yessss

Navigating Early ~ Clare Vanderpool
I'm already over halfway through this book and it is beautiful so far, guys.

Fridays with the Wizards ~ Jessica Day George
I'm so excited for this book *bounces*

Violet Eyes ~ Debbie Vigue
A retelling of The Princess and the Pea that I've been looking forward to for awhile.



And so, September is over for another year.  It went rather better than I expected.

Helloooooooo October!
