September Reading Roundup

Another not-so-stellar month in getting through my TBR. I need to think of these monthly TBRs as more of a rolling wish list than anything I might actually get through. One of my problems is that I do not include audiobooks when I am making my monthly TBR. Though I listen to at least a couple audiobooks each month, they tend to be selected at random based on what's available, so that's usually two books read but not two books crossed off the TBR necessarily. 

 

Anyway, for September, I said that I was going to focus on NetGalley books. Well, that didn't happen, so I've created a NetGalley TBR to help kick my butt on some of these.

 

Once again I only completed four books that were actually on my monthly TBR, so I'm starting to feel like an utter failure. I also really just need to make more time to read. I feel like a part of me is missing when I haven't escaped in enough good books.
