September Month in Review / October Preview

Fall has barely begun, and yet it's already flying! Where did summer even go!?

I'm still not up-to-speed on life and always feel like my computer is a long-lost friend when I turn it on. I'm sure you've seen this reflected here. Sorry about that ^^;;  I'll try to post more this month to make up for it!

Then last week I was sick, so now I'm even further behind...

Yay?

Anyway, here's what I've managed to accomplish!

ONGOING GIVEAWAYS:

*$50 Gift Card from LITTLE RED WRITING Author Joan Holub (Through 10/15)

*CRASH INTO YOU by Katie McGarry (So close to done...and SO GOOD!)
*CRESS by Marissa Meyer (Will be started later today!)

PLANNING TO READ IN OCTOBER:

Well...I'm not sure. After I finish CRASH INTO YOU and CRESS, I may be done with books, although I'm still working on beta-ing something for a friend. I want to dive into writing this week and test out a new world I'm fiddling with! 

Although now that I think of it, I at least have to read TRUST IN ME by J. Lynn aka Jennifer Armentrout, and I also 100% plan to re-read both DIVERGENT and INSURGENT, then read ALLEGIANT!!!
