My SEPTEMBER Book Haul and Wrap Up, and my OCTOBER TBR 2018

Hello, friends!!! 

Is it just me, or does September feel like the longest and shortest month out of the whole year? It really feels like it takes forever to get through, but once the month ends, it feels like it went by so quickly, lol! It must be because it's "back-to-school" month for us and we're all just getting used to our new schedules and routines... it's been tough! Three kids in three different schools, I am now a full-time chauffeur and it's been hard - my anxiety is just not getting along... other than that, everyone is adjusting and doing well! Which is all I can ask for :) 

How was your September??? 

Now, let's talk about BOOKS!!!
