September 2016 TBR

We have decided that we are going to be putting our monthly reading challenges on hold for the time being. They’ve been super fun, but it’s becoming difficult to come up with challenges that we can work into our monthly TBRs because we both have books that we really want to read.

I am going to try and keep my TBR to a minimum for this month because I mostly want to focus on my currently reading series and make some progress with those. And some of those books are big chunkers! Anything else I manage to read will just be a bonus!

Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass #4) by Sarah J. Maas
I have been loving the Throne of Glass series so much! Each book just gets better and better! I absolutely flew through Heir of Fire in a matter of days and have already started Queen of Shadows. However, I did put it down and haven’t picked it back up for a few days! I know that I’ll be completely captivated once I really get into the story, but the sheer size of it is just intimidating!

Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass #5) by Sarah J. Maas
I can’t wait for this one! I preordered it a while ago and I’m excited that I’m actually going to be caught up on the series (hopefully I can finish Queen of Shadows in time!) and be in a position to read the new book when it comes out and able to be a part of the hype.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (#5) by J.K. Rowling
My re-read of this series has taken me much longer than I thought it would. Again, I think it’s the size of the later books in the series which is daunting to me, which is ridiculous since it’s the later books that I enjoy the most and I have actually read them multiple times! But lately I’ve really been feeling the need to immerse myself back in the Wizarding World again so I definitely want to read this book this month.

The Mark of Athena (Heroes of Olympus #3) by Rick Riordan
I finally, finally got around to reading the second book in this series last month and I think that this series has finally reached the point where things will just get so much better so I need to continue on and read the third book!

The Problem with Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I can’t even remember how many TBRs I’ve put this book on now and I still have not gotten around to reading it yet! As always, it is the size of the book plus having too many other books that I want to read that has stopped me. But since I don’t have too many other books on my TBR for September, I am making this book a priority because it just needs to happen.

My main goal for this month is just to read whatever I'm in the mood for, so I'm not setting a huge TBR. However, here's a few that I definitely want to finish. I am way behind on my 2016 Goodreads challenge, so I will still be trying to get as many books read as possible to catch up a bit.

Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas - I've had this one pre-ordered since May and I can't wait to dive back into the series!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling - I don't know why I'm taking so long to get through this! It's not only one of the best books in the series, but it's one of the shortest!

The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan - Since I finally started it at the end of August, this one shouldn't take me too long to finish.
