September was a slow month of reading. I had taken a break from blogging and hadn’t been reading as much either. Towards the end of the month, I found my groove and listened to a few audiobooks.

Reading Progress First Impressions Elevation drew me in almost immediately. Despite the similarities to Thinner I was intrigued, Stephen King creates individual characters in every book he writes.
