**Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Love, Heather from Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley for review purposes.  Thank you to them for this opportunity.

Love, Heather by Laurie Petrou is a YA contemporary, with some mystery/thriller aspects, that draws inspiration from classic 80s revenge flicks.  It is set in Canada and primarily revolves around a girl named Stevie who is a freshman in high school and struggling with certain social dynamics.  I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads.  It publishes on October 8th.

Ashley’s October TBR

10.01.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

October is here! I can’t believe we’re already here.  This year has gone so quickly.  I have to admit that I’m really excited about October.  I’m not as obsessed as some people, but I really do find myself enjoying the spooky vibes that come along with the month.  I love Halloween, and scary movies, so I’m definitely going to take some time to enjoy myself this month.  That being said I am hoping to pick up some spooky reads this month.  My reading plans are below the cut.

Ashley’s September Wrap Up

09.30.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

September was a bad reading month for me if I compare it to the previous month.  In August I read so many books, and I felt like I did a really good job.  However, my circumstances changed a little as we moved into September, so I didn’t get nearly as much read.  I suppose that’s what happens when you go back to work and there are lots of other commitments on my plate then I had in August.  However, I have to remind myself that ## is still a good amount of books to read and that 30 in one month is pretty abnormal unless one is reading purely graphic novels.  Anyways, lets jump into what I read under the cut.

Ashley’s September Haul

IMG_0101

September was such a light month for me when it comes to hauling books.  There were a bunch of books that I wanted to buy but I did my best to restrain myself and I only let myself purchase two outside of my subscription boxes that I got.  I haven’t been doing very well on my resolution of not buying as many books this year, but I’m doing way better than I did last year, so that’s a definitely a plus.  Without further ado, let’s jump into what I got.  You’ll find it under the cut.
