ICYMI :: September wrap up

Hello! It’s October! Hands up if you can’t believe it!
I feel like my photo there looks deceptively autumnal with those muted browns and yellows, but focus on the springiness of those tulips! I haven’t really had a chance to check out any of the Floriade displays around the city, being that we are still in lockdown, but I did enjoy seeing these when I went for my vaccination.
September was a pretty busy month here, so I’m going to jump right in with my wrap up.Let’s start with FRIDAY FAVOURITES, because they are so much fun!

Here are some of the things that made me smile in September:

3 September – The Paralympics
10 September – Cosy Reading Night
17 September – Australian Reading Hour
24 September – School Holidays

I had a pretty good month for REVIEWS too, sharing my feelings about four #LoveOzYA books

Road Tripping with Pearl Nash by Poppy Nwosu
The Deep End by Jenna Guillaume
The Stars Beyond the Stone by Bonnie Wynne
Dark Rise by C.S. Pascat

Plus a couple of others too

The Bookshop Murder by Merryn Allingham
Seasons in the City by Meagan McKean
Dry by Neil and Jarrod Shusterman

That’s SEVEN reviews, friends!

Alongside ALL THOSE REVIEWS, I also posted an AUTHOR Q&A, a general chat, and a couple of BOOK STACKS

Such a fun busy month! Dare I say that I feel kind of like I’m getting back in the swing of things?
Looking ahead to October, again not wanting to jinx anything, I have suuuuuuuch a backlog of reviews on briliant books to share that I’m almost tempted to take part in BLOGTOBER and get some of those reviews out!

I’d love to hear what your September highlights were – bookish or otherwise!
