August was one of our most chaotic reading months of the year...and somehow September is gearing up to be even crazier.

This month we're wrapping up everything we read in August, from literary fiction and fantasy to rock star romance, tiny Victorian journals, and the rarest Book Bits & Chill event of all: a book we BOTH gave 5 stars.

Then it's time to build our September TBR, and the publishing industry has given us absolutely no peace. We're talking huge romantasy releases, adaptations we need to prepare for, pirates, John Green, books that will probably make us cry, and one sequel theory that already has us spiraling.
