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.
Book Review: Aphrodite Made Me Do It by Trista Mateer
**Disclaimer: I received a free advanced reader copy of Aphrodite Made Me Do It by Trista Mateer from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to them for this opportunity.
Aphrodite Made Me Do It by Trista Mateer is a short poetry collection taking on the dual points of view of Aphrodite and the poet herself. It releases on October 1st. I gave it 4.5/5 stars, which I had to put down as a 4 on Goodreads.
Book Review | American Royals by Katharine McGee
***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of American Royals by Katharine McGee from NetGalley through Random House Children’s for review purposes. Thank you so much for opportunity.
I really love a good drama. Is it a guilty pleasure? Maybe, but I definitely don’t feel guilty about it so it shouldn’t be classified as such.
Shows like Gossip Girl and Dynasty always hook me in. Rich people and their intricate problems! But they’re just like everyone else, right?
I’m a fan of The Thousandth Floor, so when I heard Katharine McGee was coming out with this, I knew I had to read it.
Ashley’s July Wrap Up
July was a crazy busy month for me! It was my first month of summer vacation and I had a bunch of stuff on the go: a garage sale, a wedding, camping, and helping my parents move! However, in between and around all those things I was able to get a bunch of reading done. I read 26 books in July. You can find my Wrap Up and brief reviews under the cut.

Not sure what else the appropriate response for the tagline of ‘Project Runway meets Mulan‘ is other than YES PLEASE!

Review | Waiting For Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey
***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey from NetGalley through Berkley for review purposes. The final copy was gifted to me from the publisher. Thank you so much for opportunity.
For an awesome excerpt of the book, be sure to check the end of the post!
Let’s take a moment to be real: who doesn’t love Tom Hanks? Even if you’re not one for romcoms like You’ve Got Mail, how about movies like Saving Private Ryan, Turner & Hooch, Castaway, or my personal favorite, Toy Story?
Even though his name is mentioned probably 100 times, Tom Hanks is not actually in this book. Basically, Tom Hanks is the metaphor for the perfect partner in a romantic comedy.
Review | Please Send Help by Alison Raskin and Gaby Dunn
**Disclaimer: I received a free copy of Please Send Help for review purposes from NetGalley. Thank you to the publishers for this opportunity.
Please Send Help by Alison Raskin and Gaby Dunn is the follow up novel to I Hate Everyone But You. It takes place three or four years after the initial story, and continues to tell us Gen and Ava’s story. Gen and Ava are best friends and have been since high school. They went to different colleges and so their friendship became long distance and both books are told through text messages and emails. The first is their first year of separation, and Please Send Help is the story of them being fresh out of college and working their first jobs. The girls are older and wiser, sort of, and navigating the world of adulthood.

Politics? Royalty? Enemies to friends? Forbidden romance? Well, that’s one of the ways to gain my attention.
