a month of reading: SEPTEMBER 2026

How is September already over? I feel like it just went by way too fast!
To be honest, I spent a lot of time this month pondering whether or not I should keep going with my blog and bookstagram. Over the past few months, I felt like I had lost that spark to create. Writing book reviews and putting in the effort to make content and post felt like such a struggle. But during the rare times that I do post, so many of you continue to interact and engage even when I go radio silent. Slowly but surely, I feel like I'm finding the motivation to show up here again. So if you're here and reading this, thank you so much 🥹💖

In September, I read 12 books, 5 of which were audiobooks. I love that I've successfully converted to listening to audiobooks. To date, I've listened to 21 audiobooks, and for someone who used to not listen to them at all, that feels like such a huge achievement 😅

I also celebrated my 30th birthday in September and look at all the books I received from my husband, family, and friends 📚! 🥳
