September Preview

 Hello Interwebs!

So for the month of September I have some "for sure" books but most of it is in the form of a horror/thriller TBR jar so I'm going to let you know what my definite TBR is as well as everything in my TBR jar. 

• Girl A by Abigail Dean: this is a slow burn thriller and is the pick for Malala's Fearless book club on Literati from September. When typing out this TBR I have already finished this book and am wavering between a 4.5 and a 5 star rating. 
  
  
  
• 56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard: this is the September pick for Gabby Reads' Book Troop book club. This is a thriller that takes place during a 56 day period during the COVID lockdowns. 
  
  
  
• Sweet Mercy by K.A. Tucker (Dirty Empire #1): this is the September pick for Chelsea Palmer's book club on Patreon. This is a dark romance novel, which isn't something I usually read but I'm willing to take a chance on this one. 
  
  
  
• Spells Trouble by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast (Sisters of Salem #1): this is the September pick for Olivia Reads a Latte's Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew patreon tier and its a middle grade fantasy about witch twins who are descendants of a famous witch and have to save their town. 
  
  
  

So those are the four books I for sure what to read this month now comes the bigger part of the list, my TBR jar contents. All of the books in this section are thrillers and horror with a couple mysteries and such thrown in for good measure. There's also tabs that say Libby to choose a book from my TBR on the Libby app and ones that say your choice which I can pick any book of any genre that I want to read right away. I've included pictures of the covers but no links since there's so many of them. So without further ado here is my TBR jar:
