Goodbye September—Hello Cozy Season and My September Book Highlights

Can you believe September is already behind us? The air is turning cooler, and the leaves are turning those vibrant shades of red, gold, and orange. It’s the perfect time to start wrapping up in warm sweaters and savour a delicious mug of apple cider. Autumn’s cozy season is almost here—and I don’t know about you, but that means it’s time for some serious reading!

This September, I dove into a mix of books—some completely stole my heart, and others, well, didn’t quite hit the mark. Today, I’m sharing my top picks and the ones I would probably skip next time, with a little refresher on what made these titles memorable (or not) based on my past reviews.

My Favorite September Reads:

The Ones I Would Skip:

The Girl in the Green Dress
A thriller that followed every cliché in the book with few surprises—I found it quite forgettable. Read my review here.
