Okayyyy so, I’m a little fail with this challenge this month. I started the Mistborn series! But I haven’t finished it. 🙁 I’m still counting it as September because I’ll also read another series for October. 🙂

Favorite Things This Month:

The return of the pumpkin spice latte! Full disclosure: I loveeee this drink but normally made, it’s way too sweet for me, so I only get it with one pump syrup. 🙂 The drink with the cute Starbucks fall cups is just my favorite! Along with this, is all things pumpkin and fall! Trader Joe’s has all their fall stuff now which means YUM. I recently got some pumpkin macaroons there and they were AMAZINGGG.

I had such an AWESOME time voice messaging and reading a highly anticipated book “together” with my blogging friend Rebecca. Let’s just say I honestly would not have survived without her by my side! <3

Last, but CERTAINLY not least… FOOTBALL SEASON IS BACK!! I’ve only been waiting for this since February. I’m so excited that every Sunday is filled with football goodness and when I go to the store I’m greeted with blue and green and 12s everywhere! LOVE. IT. The Seahawks may have had a rocky start to the season but I BELIEVE. We’ll improve. We’ve got this. We started last season off 1-2 as well, and we ended up in the Superbowl. Go Hawks!

How was your September? What did you read and what were your favorites? Anything fun or exciting happen in September? Are you as excited for fall and for football as I am??

I’m rereading the HP series now also… I’m on The Goblet of Fire right now. It’s my first reread since I read them allllll those years ago, and it’s so fun because I’m reading them to my son for his first time. I’m so happy to be able to share the HP love with him, and now we have all these inside jokes and convos that no one else in my family understands bc they aren’t Pottheads. Also YAY for football!! My life feels a lot more complete when I can watch football on Sun, Mon, and Thurs and have ESPN talk about football pretty much constantly. I know you are a Seattle fan, so it would make me really happy if they could get it together w/ Jimmy Graham. He was killing my in fantasy the first 2 weeks…. I mean he had a good game the other day, but I need consistency!!

Cee

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban keeps coming up, and it’s making me want to reread it since it’s been yeaaarrrs.

I’ve never had Pumpkin spice latte before, and I really want to try it, but it’s not very lactose intolerant friendly. (I know I can get soy, but the syrup apparently has dairy in it, which makes me so sad.) I just can’t wait to eat all the pumpkin everything though!

I’m really happy that you FREAKING FINALLY read The Deal! After The Mistake, you should read The Hook Up, The Friend Zone and then Sacked. Those should really appeal to the football girl in you!
Eww to pumpkin spice anything, Wendy! Haha! Love you! <3
Happy reading!
