September was a great month for books for me, especially because it was my birthday- yes i’m now officially 26- and i got to pick up some new reads that i’ve been waiting to dive into for some time! These reads are both fiction, and self development based as i continue on in my year of growth and self improvement, so i hope you’ll find something to love among my top five!

So… lets have a look at what books i read, loved, and recommend for September!

May was a seriously amazing month for me book-wise with several new to me authors dominating my time with entire series that i have now read and loved! Check out what I’m recommending from the month of may, Bookworms!

If you know anything about my personal history, you know i studied dystopian fiction in depth throughout both my A Levels and undergraduate degree. As such, dystopian lit, and in particular feminist dystopian lit, is still one of my very favourite genres. I am also IN LOVE with the new Hulu series of The Handmaid’s tale, and am thrilled that Margaret Atwood has not only been heavily involved with the development of seasons two and three which veer away from the first book, but also that she’s announced she will be writing a sequel to the original novel. It’s definitely exciting times to be a lover of this particular genre of stories, so here are five novels to check out if you are waiting not so patiently for the next Handmaid’s tale updates!
