Monthly Round Up - September 2011

As this is my first full month of blogging, I've decided to introduce a new feature rounding up the posts from that month.

My Month in Books:

This month I have read 10 books for a total of 4032 pages. I also began my first ever blog based reading challenge Fall into Reading and I've read 3 of the books. Links to my reviews are below:

Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost
Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting (guest blog @ E&K Family Book Review)
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos

Lover Eternal by J. R. Ward
Lover Awakened by J. R. Ward


Book Awesomeness:

I'm taking the overall scores for each book, adding them up and turning them into a percentage to give an overall 'book awesomeness' score for the month. The score this month is:

93 %

Most Beautiful Cover:




My favourite cover from the books I read this month is The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting. I had a lot of 9/10 covers this month, so picking by score alone was out meaning I had to look at them as a whole and pick one. I love the simplicity of the cover and the blue/black colour combo adds a creepy dimension that fits the book really well.






Overall best book:

My overall best book from this month is Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. I really loved the world building in the book because it was incredibly complex featuring loads of different races but presented in a way that it never became overwhelming. I really liked Evie as a character and I thought Lend was a great love interest for her.
