Despite a slew of DNFs at the end of the month, I actually enjoyed most of my reading, and completed quite a few books.
Books read: 9 for September, 77 for the year
DNF: 3
Pages read: 3,581 out of 25,300
Hours listened to: 12 Hours
Average rating: 3.89
Female Authors: 2 out of 35 for the year
Favorite Read:
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
Audiobooks Listened To:
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel – I am not reviewing this because there’s plenty of reviews already out there, but I enjoyed it, and the audio was fantastic. Highly Recommended.
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson – I very much enjoyed the audio on this also. The ending took me by surprise, but I loved this story. I quit on the other stories because the narrator changed but not for the better.
Other Reads Completed:
A Pilgrimage of Swords by Anthony Ryan
War of the Wolf by Bernard Cornwell
Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky
ARCs Received:
Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo
Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts by Kate Racculia
The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez
eGalleys Approved:
The Companions by Katie M. Flynn
Sword of Kings by Bernard Cornwell
Planned Reads for October:
I will not have time to read anything outside of this already massive list.
How was your September? Have you read any of these?
Hamlets & Hyperspace 
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see that The Ten Thousand Doors of January was your favourite read. I finally got my book subscription box and I am SUPER disappointed in its contents.
I’ve had Station Eleven on my TBR for years now, so I may have to read it sooner rather than later now!
Half Way Home sounds like my kind of book. Any sort of colonizing space synopsis hooks me immediately. I’ve only ever read Wool by Howey and I really enjoyed it.
Looks like you have a spectacular month!

Station Eleven was great! I didn’t feel like doing a review just because there are so many already out there, adding mine to the mix seemed unnecessary. But I will say it’s very light on plot, and very heavy on character building. It wasn’t what I expected really, but I still enjoyed it.

9 books! That’s awesome. I just got approved for The Companions, and I’m super curious about The Vanished Birds. And Station Eleven is still one of my very favorite books. For me I loved the characters and the writing, which is so beautiful. I still remember the quote I used in my review, almost word for word!

Somehow The Companions was a Read Noe for me on NetGalley. Just that book, not any others. I’m thinking it was a fluke.
I’m curious about The Vanished Birds too, and Station Eleven really was lovely!

I haven’t read any of these, but I really want to get to Station Eleven. Thanks for the reminder that it’s a character-driven story, though. I think this winter might be the perfect time to get to it: somehow slower-paced books work really well for me in winter months.

I agree- summer and spring are for action fall winter make a good time to cozy up with a slower paced book.

I Am Legend is one that I have always been meaning to try, and I believe it’s a short one too. I remember watching the movie adaptation with Will Smith as a kid, when I was a fan of anything the man did but now I know the movie was a horrible adaptation and that there’s even more to appreciate from the classic hahah Happy reading, Sarah! 😀

I am Legend is good! You should give it a try. And it definitely wasn’t anything like the movie (at least as I remember the movie). I don’t remember specifically the end of the movie, but the ending of this is brilliant.
