I saw this somewhere, I don’t even think it was a tag but me being me, didn’t write down where I saw it. Originator, if you are reading this please know I am very sorry!

But I loved the sound of it.

It’s called the ‘On my shelf’ tag.

You count the number of books on your shelf, say 50 and then ask people to give you a random number between 1 and 50.

Then once the number is chosen, count along until you get to that number and write about the book. Why did you buy it? Does it mean anything to you?

So here we go……..

I have 70 books on my Goodreads tbr shelf.

Please add in comments a number between 1 and 70 and next week I will post all about that book!

In August I tried to read all my Fairyloot books that I had backed up. I didn’t call it a reading list but I guess it really was!

And I did really well! I guess sometimes I just need some structure to my reading month!

So I thought if it worked in August, it might work in September!

I plan on reading the 4 books off my Netgalley shelf so then I can try and keep it all up to date going forward (yeah, good luck with that future me!) and I’ve snuck in a new release that I cant wait to read!

Anyway, these are the books:

Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar

---

Netgalley Shelf

Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

Of the Blood by Cameo Renae

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong

---

 

What books do you want to read in September?

Top Ten Tuesday featured by That Artsy Reader was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Welcome to Closing the Chapter! I hope you had a great reading month?

August is nearly done, the weather here has been so changeable but mostly hot, really hot, humid and rainy. I really don’t like the heat, summer always makes me realise that my ideal place to live would be somewhere where it’s permanently winter!

School starts again next week for my son although it’s going to be a lot different for him due to the COVID changes and I can’t say that it doesn’t worry me because this whole situation is uber worrying and our numbers seem to be rising again.

For August I decided that I needed to make a start reading the Fairyloot books I had outstanding. I thought I had 9 but it was actually 11 (sigh!) so I knew I wasn’t going to be able to read all those in one month!

This is how I got on!

Mirage by Somiaya Daud – See my review here.

Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust – See my review here.

Forest of Souls by Lori M Lee – See my review here.

Viper by Bex Hogan – See my review here.

The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna – See my review here.

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend – See my review here.

Shielded by Kaylynn Flanders – Look out for my review soon!

The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli – DNF – I had to put this one down as I just wasn’t feeling it. I really wanted to……because dragons.

The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh – Again, was a DNF for me. This was the 2nd time I’ve tried to read and I couldn’t warm up to a main character at all and it ruined it for me 🙁

Dark Fairytales – various – See my review here.

Court of Lions by Somaiya Daud – Look out for my review soon!

 

What did you read in August?

At this point I’m just throwing my ‘3 book a month’ rule out of the window. It’s very apparent that I cannot be that disciplined.

There is no hope.

All is lost….(for my tbr).

What books did you get this month?

We have a quiz to finish off our posts for romance awareness month!

Sophie, Trisy and I thought it would be great to put a quiz together for all of you so you can discover exactly which type of romance reader you are (total kudos to Sophie for making!)

Take the quiz here!

I was a dark romance reader, let me know in comments what type of romance reader you are!

 

We hope you have enjoyed the romance posts this month.

Writing these was such fun!

I saw this tag on Never Not Reading and decided I wanted to play along!

Let’s get right into it!

---

📚 How many books do you usually read at once?

2……a physical/ebook and an audio book. I listen to audio at work, makes the day go much faster! 😂

---

📕 How do you decide when to switch between multiple reads?

I dont really…..

---

🔖Do you ever switch bookmarks partway through a book?

No! Who does that? Heathens!!!!!

---

📚 What time of day do you read the most?

In the evening when my son is occupied and getting ready for bed. I can sit undisturbed and take in all those words!!!

---

📕 How long do you typically read in one session?

Probably around 2 to 3 hours. I’d love more though!!

---

🔖Do you read hardcovers with the dust jacket off?

I used to. It annoyed me how they kept slipping down but now I seem to have mastered the art of keeping it up whilst reading!!!

---

📚 What position do you mainly use to read?

My fave place to read is sat up on my bed propped up by my bookish cushions so that answers that!

---

📕 Do you take your current read with you everywhere you go?

I have the Kindle and Audible apps on my phone so I can whip it out at a moments notice and read, read, read!

---

🔖How often do you update your Goodreads reading progress.

Every time I start and finish a book. Also if a book is on the large side then I will update progress to make myself feel better!!!!

I won’t tag anyone but feel free to join in!!
