September in Review

For the month of September I read 25 books. I caught up on all of my Vampire Hunter D books, read the latest Vampire Academy book, and also caught up on a bunch of other series. I also started reading the Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine. Overall there were a ton of awesome books that I read this month; probably more 5 star books than in any month yet!

Here are the awesome books that I gave 5 stars and fell in love with:
– “The Arrival” by Shaun Tan
– “Rapunzel’s Revenge” by Shannon, Dean, and Nathan Hale
– “Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary” (Fablehaven, Book 4) by Brandon Mull
– “Clash of the Demons” (The Last Apprentice, Book 6) by Joseph Delaney
– “Magic Strikes” (Kate Daniels, book 3) by Ilona Andrews
– “Wintergirls” by Laurie Halse Anderson
– “The Last Olympian” (Percy and the Olympians, Book 5) by Rick Riordan

The most disappointing books of the month were “Seduce the Darkness” (Alien Huntress, Book 4) by Gena Showalter, and the Morganville Vampire books by Rachel Caine (I just could not get into the characters in this series!).
