Although most of this month felt like the dog days of summer, the weather has broken and fall has finally arrived to take us into October. September was a busy month for me personally and professionally. As a result, I didn’t have enough time as I would have liked to read and blog, but the books I did read were mostly ones I really liked. Keeping this one short and sweet, here is a look at the books I read this month with my review linked to each:

• A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab – ★★★★
• Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley – ★★★★★
• Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh – ★★★★
• Learning to Breathe by Karen White – ★★
• The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson – ★★★
