Instagram Reading Wrap Up: September 2017

Here's my monthly wrap up of all the books that I read in August, which I originally posted on Instagram. 

Here are all of the books that I read in October, or in the case of Before She Ignites by Jodi Meadows (@unicornwarlord), started reading. I definitely deviated from my original September TBR since @christinalauren's Autoboyography and Before She Ignites weren't originally books that I was planning to read this month. However, I definitely had a fantastic reading month, because I absolutely loved every book that I read this month, and I'm loving Before She Ignites so far. I honestly can't pick a favorite out of these books, because they're all amazing. I unexpectedly ended up winning a giveaway that Christina Lauren did on Twitter for Autoboyography, and I received a copy of the audiobook version of Autoboyography from them. I honestly cried 5+ times as I was listening to Autoboyography. It really resonated with me on a very profound emotional level. It's an amazing book, but reading it was definitely a massive emotional kick to the groin for me. 😭That's why I followed up reading Autoboyography with My Lady Jane, which was absolutely hilarious. @authoremmachase's Royally Endowed was a fantastic ending to the Royally series. @authorkaylaolson's The Sandcastle Empire and @kendareblake's Three Dark Crowns are both great examples of why I love YA fantasy books so much. I started reading Before She Ignites on my flight to San Diego a couple weeks ago, and I'm going to try my best to finish it by the time @owlcrate has their OwlBabble with Jodi Meadows towards the end of the month. All in all, September really was a great reading month for me. 😀 #bookstagram #bookaholic #bookaddict #autoboyography #christinalauren #beforesheignites #thefallenislestrilogy #thefallenisles #jodimeadows #threedarkcrowns #kendareblake #owlcrate

OwlCrate Unboxing: September 2017 (Mythical Creatures)

Here's what I got in my September 2017 OwlCrate box, which came in the mail today. The theme for September's box is "Mythical Creatures".

My September @owlcrate box came in the mail today! My favorite kind of YA books to read above all other kinds of YA books is YA fantasy, so I'm very excited to read Before She Ignites by @unicornwarlord (Jodi Meadows). I'm going on a trip in a few days, and I'll definitely be taking my copy of Before She Ignites with me on my trip. While I like the original cover for Before She Ignites, I definitely like the OwlCrate exclusive cover a little bit more. 😀 The items in this month's box are all pretty fun, but my favorite thing in this month's box is probably the book sleeve. I'll definitely be using it when I go on my trip to keep my copy of Before She Ignites safe as I'm traveling. 😀 Daenerys is one of my top favorite characters in both the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, and on the show Game of Thrones, so I absolutely love the Daenerys themed bookmark. I'll definitely be using the coin purse to keep my spare change in. It looks cool. 😀 All in all, as someone who absolutely loves YA fantasy, I love this month's OwlCrate box. 😀 #owlcrate #bookstagram #bookhaul #bookaholic #bookaddict #bookworm #beforesheignites #thefallenislestrilogy #thefallenisles #jodimeadows #gameofthrones #asongoficeandfire #georgerrmartin #daenerystargaryen #harrypotter #jkrowling

Subscription plans start at $29.99, plus shipping. The people who run OwlCrate are all very nice, and they’re really great at answering any questions that people may have about OwlCrate on Twitter, or via email. I highly recommend subscribing to OwlCrate, especially if you’re a fan of YA books. If you’re interested in learning more about OwlCrate, or subscribing to it, you can check out their website here. For the record, I wasn’t asked by the people who run OwlCrate to promote their business on my blog; I’m only mentioning OwlCrate here because I really love OwlCrate a lot, especially now that I’m reviewing books for my blog instead of TV shows. 

Finally, in case you’re unaware, I've reviewed Jeff Zentner’s debut novel, The Serpent King, which was OwlCrate’s book of the month for March of last year when the theme was "Writer’s Block". I've also reviewed P.S. I Like You by Kasie West, which was the book of the month for August of last year when the theme was "Fast Times at Y.A. High"; as well Audrey Coulthurst's book, Of Fire and Stars, which was the December 2016 book of the month when the theme was "Epic".

Here are links to all of the other previous OwlCrate unboxings that I've posted on my blog. However, I have a lot more OwlCrate unboxings that I've posted on my Instagram page in case anybody is interested in checking those out.
