Books read in September

I'm quite proud of myself this month. It has been the start of the school year, so rather stressful. But I've still managed  to read five books!

Necropolis: London and its Dead 3/5 Stars

The start of this book was really interesting, however my interest waned towards the end. That's probably due to the fact I'm more interested in medieval history than the more recent parts!

Mercy Thompson: Homecoming 4/5 Stars

I really enjoyed the Mercy series, and I liked this little prequel. I would have liked it to be longer, and was left a little unsatisfied.

Carmilla 4/5 Stars

A weird one. It was a good storyline, especially seeing as it was written in the Victorian times. This story was the first ever Vampire novel.

The Night Circus 4.5/5 stars

The best book of the month was The Night Circus, which I had tried to read before but I didn't get in to it. I really enjoyed it, and I think that enjoyment will only grow with rereads, because rather than racing to find out how it could end I'll be focusing on the details.

666 Park Avenue 2.5/5 stars

Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

To be read in October (I've tried to go with a spooky theme, with Halloween at the end of the month!)

The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
Burial Rites by Hannah Kent
Something?! by Stephen King - I'm hoping this will cover the scary book of my challenge!
The Resurrectionist by James Bradley
The Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
Bellman and Black by Diane Setterfield
