September Book Round-up
Well, here we are at the end of another month, and this month was a little slower for me in the way of reading books. I only managed to get in a handful of books this month, as I got derailed by how long it took me to read one book. It took nearly nine days to read, and I had to force myself to stick with it. I will tell you more about that book in a minute. But first, let’s talk about my four favorite books this month and one that I wasn’t the biggest fan of even though it was made into a Hulu tv show.

Who IS Carrie Soto?
Since I discovered Daisy Jones & The Six, I have been obsessed with Taylor Jenkins Reid’s books. The way she creates stories about these famous women, it’s as if they could have lived in real life. So much so that it has made me want to google them to see if they are real. By telling these fictional stories of famous women, it’s as if she is preserving the stories of remarkable women in our society. And I think without meaning to, she writes beautiful books about feminism and what it’s like to be a woman in this patriarchal world. So let me show you why I think Carrie Soto could be a hero for all women worldwide.

Persuasion: The book or Netflix movie?
I was scrolling through Netflix one day and discovered the new Persuasion movie, which led me to want to read all of Jane Austin’s books. So I hopped on Amazon and bought a collection of six of her books. Having never read her books and taking advice from another article, I started by reading Persuasion. Plus, if I was going to watch the new movie with Dakota Johnson, I wanted to read the book first to understand the film more. So in the following paragraphs, I will tell you what I thought of the book and movie and how they compared to each other.

My First Agatha Christie Book
I had never heard of Agatha Christie till earlier this year when I bought a book from BOTM (Book Of The Month Club) called The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont. It was an exciting and different way to look at the scandal that took place in Agatha Christie’s early life. That book left me curious to know more about Agatha Christie and her books, which led to me reading everything I could about Agatha Christie and eventually purchasing 3 of her books.

August’s Book Round Up
I didn’t set out with the intention of reading 15 books for August, but that is exactly what happened. Honestly, I hadn’t read any books in a few months. So once I got started, I couldn’t stop. This month I read books the Belletrist club picked as their monthly book pick, Vogue’s book club monthly book pick, and a few books from BOTM. Here is my take on the five books I enjoyed most this month.

Do you suffer for foot in your mouth syndrome?
So you think you suffer from foot in mouth syndrome, try being a Sagittarius. We are notoriously known for speaking without thinking. Most of the time, we don’t even know we are doing it till we see the hurt look on the other person’s face. But I mean, there are only so many ways to tell a person that they look like a dog, right.

Blindfolded while on a blind-date!
I remember the first time I allowed myself to try bondage. I was a young 20 something on a blind date with a guy a few years older than me. He was handsome with his chiseled jawline, shaggy mahogany hair, and piercing blue eyes. From the moment I saw him, I was shocked that he would even be interested in a girl like me. I’m probably one of the most forgettable women in the world, with my high cheekbones, squinty eyes, and dull untamed blonde hair. I guess you could say I was a regular ole plain Jane with nothing going on in my life. And my best friend, Erica, felt sorry for me, so she talked the poor sap into going on a blind date with me.
