Current Favorites and Birthday Giveaway

October is my birthday month (in fact my birthday is today!) and it is the month where fall is finally in full swing. Not only have all the Halloween decorations been put out, but the weather has taken a turn so I am in my happy place. I love the vibe of this time of year and I give myself free reign in a lot of ways. I hurt my own wallet very close to the holiday season, but it is ALWAYS worth it.

This month I'm also hosting my first giveaway on this blog to celebrate my birthday month by giving one of you the chance to win one of my favorite books. Details and a place to enter are at the bottom of this post.

Anyway the plan for October (just like last year) is to post every day! Gasp! Isn't this fun and stressful? Yes. However, I usually find it more fun than stressful. Here's hoping this year continues like that. Today I want to talk about some of the things I'm obsessing over and give you some life updates along the way.

Summer and Fall Favorites

It has been a LONG while since I posted my favorites. Since it has been over six months since my last favorites, I'm going to name a few of my favorites from the summer and beginning of fall. Since it has been so long, I had a hard time choosing just one favorite!

Book Favorite: These last few months I have read some amazing books. It is really hard to choose between them. I don't know how I'll narrow it down to just a few. I don't have reviews for any of these yet because I am INCREDIBLY far behind these year on reviews. They were all fantastic though and I loved them for different reasons.

   

Audiobook Favorite: Since March I've listened to two audiobooks that really blew me out of the water. During the Tome Topple Readathon I listened to American Gods and really enjoyed the full cast version of the story. Then 

 

Blogger/Youtuber Favorite: I've been trying to expand my youtube subscription list lately. Even though I love the people I'm already subscribed to, I want to expand the books and thought I am exposed to. One of my most recent favorite people is Lia Cooper. Lia is smart and critical. She expresses her thoughts really well and she gets me excited about the books she talks about!
