Hey bookish people,
Last month, I said that I would not buy as many books in September as it wasn’t my birthday anymore and that there aren’t many releases. Still, I finished buying nine books, including two in French. I just realised that I mainly purchased fantasy ones. I unconsciously wanted to be in October and the spooky season.

Here we are, a late haul for September! I was too engrossed in my reading to realise that I didn’t do it earlier. So for October, I will have books but less than I thought as some of the releases are postponed, so it will be for November.
What did you buy in September? Did you know or read any books in my book haul? If yes, don’t hesitate to comment.
See you soon,
Liz.
