Hi Readers! You have to give me credit for at least this one thing \u2013 whether I read much or not, you will always see me posting these monthly wrapups<\/a>! I feel like these help me reflect on the month, not only in terms of reading, but also who I met, if I did anything fun or if the month just flew by with nothing of consequence. So, thanks for being my reflections and digital journals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~BOOKS~<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I read 3 BOOKS across 1218 PAGES<\/mark><\/strong> in September, of which two were graphic novels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~BLANKETS by CRAIG THOMPSON~~<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I had wanted to read Blankets for a long time, so I finally picked it up this month. I think I had high expectations, which is why, it felt a little disappointing. In a semi-autobiographical manner, it is a coming-of-age story revolving around Craig, his brother Phil and Craig\u2019s girlfriend Raina. I liked the artwork because the raw emotions of loneliness as well as togetherness is drawn so wonderfully. I rated Blankets by Craig Thompson at 3\/5 stars!<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~THE LIFE IMPOSSIBLE by MATT HAIG~~<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Life Impossible is the story where 72-year-old Grace Winters makes an unpredictable move to Ibiza, where her old friend Christina had left her a bungalow after her death. When Grace lands in Ibiza she tries to uncover the mystery of Christina\u2019s death. This leads to meeting new people, exploring new places, doing things she never imagined she\u2019d do. And at the centre of it all is magical realism. <\/strong>The plot was quite straightforward with a lovable but flawed septuagenarian woman going to a different country, uncovering the cause of her long-lost friend\u2019s death, finding the culprits and all to preserve the ecology of the precious place in Ibiza. I absolutely loved this book and want to read everything that Matt Haig has written. I rated The Life Impossible by Matt Haig at 4\/5 stars!<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
