It was a nice time, but I can definitely say that I’m glad we don’t have another convention on our schedule until next September. The convention was requiring masks during the whole show, but we were both still very anxious about going. My husband and I helped out at the Colorworld Books booth at Cincinnati Comic Expo. September also marked our brief return to conventions. We don’t really put photos up on our fridge. Oh, and those magnet photo frames are definitely on my refrigerator right now, helping hold a couple recipes up. This box had the next installment in the seasonal drinkware set, which I thought was pretty nice, but my favorite items are the coasters, which we definitely use every time we have our friend group over for D&D, and the calligraphy set.

Instead I’ve been endlessly scrolling through social media and binge watching shows on Netflix or Hulu or Amazon Prime Video. It still just feels very weird to have so many books that I really really want to read and just not picking them up when I have the free time to read. Honestly it feels like this second half of the year hasn’t been filled with huge book hauls, although I do have a couple of bigger ones.

It continues on my year of wanting to read ALL THE BOOKS but just not having that driving urge to read. September was a pretty decent month for buying books, although I’ve only read two of these books. Lee, Into the Dying Light by Katy Rose Pool, Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy, Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune Amiculus: A Secret History: Omnibus by Travis Horseman, Forestborn by Elayne Audrey Becker, Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao, A Song of Flight by Juliet Marillier The Witch Haven by Sasha Peyton Smith, Pahua and the Soul Seeker by Lori M. Everything else has just felt like a slogging trek through mud or quicksand or something.Īnyway, today I’m here to talk about my September–yes, my September book haul and OwlCrate Unboxing. It’s been great because I finally got to have my wedding, and it’s been nice because of our regularly scheduled sessions of D&D. Seriously, this year has been not great for a lot of things. I would procrastinate and then forget about it, and by the time I remembered, I was so mad at myself for putting it off that I just didn’t post at all. Of course I also just kept not writing up blog posts when I wanted to. Speaking of…the December OwlCrate isn’t expected to ship until something like mid-January, so my December haul will probably be late. I had originally thought about keeping up with at least my book hauls each month, but with manufacturing and shipping delays, I started running into my OwlCrates coming either at the very last minute or not until the following month.
