September 2014 Wrap Up

Ah, Fall. You’re here! Well sort of. I mean, it’s not quite Fall weather in Southern California yet. Still, this time of the year means hot drinks (preferably Pumpkin Spice flavored) and comfy coats. I love it! 
It also means I usually get more time to read in bed, and so that I’m thankful for as well. Here’s how this month went down!

As you can see, I bumped up my reading goal :). Mostly because I hit the 150 mark and wanted to see where I could go next. Favorite book of the month? Blood of My Blood takes it, hands down. I’m going to miss Jasper like crazy, but man that was a good last book.
