RAK: September Wrap-Up & October's Plans

It's the last day of September and it's time to go over my RAK's September Wrap-Up. The RAK is hosted every month by Book Soulmates. This is what I got for my birthday month:

 

Birthday card, two banned books week bookmarks, Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, & Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor from Sarah at Sawcat's Book Blog. She's super awesome!

Yay! I got Unwind's sequel, Unwholly by Neal Shusterman. This was sent to me by my lovely friend, Ciska from I am Ciska.

These gorgeous earrings were made especially for me for my birthday by the very talented Miki from Lecture toute une Aventure. I get many compliments when I wear these. So pretty!!!

This is what I gave away:

 

I sent this to Michelle over at Beagle Book Space.

Overview

This was a very exciting month of gifts and I have to say that I am quite blessed to have such wonderful friends around the world. Got to love the book blogging community!

September was a very interesting reading month. I went back to work at my school, my tutoring started up again, and I went back into my belly dance. My reading time was cut short and my desire to read was not as great at the beginning of the month due to heartbreak. I did get to read my Harry Potter books and I got started on my H.P. Lovecraft.

October's Plans

• Going to read the last two books in the Harry Potter series.
• Going to read the next four stories out of the H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction: "A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson," "Polaris," "Beyond the Wall of Sleep," and "Memory."
• Start The Hobbit Read-a-Long hosted by Sawcat's Book Blog.
• Finish reading Taken by Erin McCarthy and Battle Royale by Koushun Takami.
• Read The Woman in Black by Susan Hill.
• Co-host Valentina Goldman's Immaculate Confusion book blast on October 8th.
• Participate in the Spooktacular Giveaway Hop hosted by I am a Reader, Not a Writer. 

I'm excited for October!!!!
