Alyssa Thomas Promise Me Sunshine by Cara Bastone. I am in disbelief that it lived up to the hype!

julianna ☽ tie between never let me go by kazuo ishiguro and the circle by dave eggers. both were for my contemporary lit class and they’re so different from each other but sooooo good

Maisa Alchemy of Secrets. I also finished Babel which was a top rated book for this year

Maisa This is in my Tbr list.

Mizzy Mint Best reread was either "My Darling Dreadful Thing" or "Persephone Rising". My favorite new read in September was probably "Bat Eater and other Names for Cora Zeng" but "Buffalo Hunter Hunter" was really good. For Nonfiction, hands down "By Rust of Nail & Prick of Thorn". I was so disappointed in my reading of Butter, I wanted it to be so much 'butter' than it was.

Samantha Old School Indian by Aaron John Curtis. I’m still processing this book. It’s beautifully written and unexpected.
