This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron is a young adult fantasy novel featuring an f/f romance with a girl with a gift for growing plants with only a single touch. In September, I’m finally going to bite the bullet and give it a read. Why haven’t I read it yet, you ask? Because it’s been so hyped and I’ve seen such great reviews for it, that I’m afraid it’s not going to live up to my expectations. I’ve had a Netgalley ARC of Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune on my Kindle for months. It was so well-written and I never wanted to put it down.īooks I’m looking forward to reading in September From the familial bonds to the fantastical elements to the storyline to the constant relevations to the super slow burn romance. I adored this retelling of the Brothers Grimm’s The Six Swans mixed with east Asian folklore. Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim blew my expectations right out of the water! This is a young adult fantasy novel about a princess in exile trying to break a curse that’s been cast on her brothers-and for every word she speaks, one of her brothers will die. I look forward to reading more in this series. I finally got around to reading the first book in Jackie North’s Farthingdale Ranch series, The Foreman and the Drifter, and what a lovely novel it was! Jamie and Leland were so very sweet together and you can’t beat that Wyoming setting. This story is such a warm, sweet, low-angst character-driven one and I can’t recommend it enough. I listened to the audiobook by Greg Boudreaux and it was excellent. Just click on the images to be taken to the book’s Amazon page.īest Laid Plans by Roan Parrish was so, so good! I absolutely adored it. My favourite three books of the month are below.

And second, I was hard at work on my current WIP, Chasing Sunsets (more on that below), and because I was working on a bit of a tighter deadline than usual, I spent more time writing than reading. I did binge watch all seven seasons of Good Witch, though, and I loved it! Highly recommend. Why did I read so few books this month, you ask? Great question! I read six books in August and DNF’d one-but we won’t talk about that one because nobody cares.
