Favorite Music (apparently I was in a bit of a rock mood this month- never mad about that at all- both of these tracks did get stuck into my head a lot):

“Kicks” by Barns Courtney- https://youtu.be/9r4WD60uM18?si=f8sdwzgaCfwJiihb
Favorite Coffee and / or Tea:
Fall Blend Ground Coffee from Starbucks- this coffee was perfectly smooth and good! Enjoyed it very much- usually very picky with the taste of Starbucks coffees. I'll link it: https://www.target.com/p/starbucks-fall-blend-medium-roast-ground-coffee-10oz/-/A-16185604#lnk=sametab

Favorite Book(s) I've Read:
Blue Sisters (my September 2024 Book of the Month pick) by Coco Mellors: This book was so hard to put down at times- that's how much I was suckered into reading this book- but I did enjoy all the sisterly dynamics and the fact that they can come back together after a grieving time plus begin to take care of themselves a bit better than before. Appreciated the humor throughout the book, too. I'll link it: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sisters-Novel-Coco-Mellors/dp/0593723767/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
The Guest List (picked out from my local library) by Lucy Foley: This murder mystery set off the coast of Ireland during a popular celebrity couples' wedding ceremony was the best book I think I've read in a minute. I've got a thing for murder mysteries, I guess? I'll link it: https://www.amazon.com/Guest-List-Novel-Lucy-Foley/dp/0062868934/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Practical Magic (based off the hit 90s movie of the same name- my September 2024 Book of the Month add-on pick) by Alice Hoffman: I enjoyed all of the whimsy, witchy moments plus the sister dynamics, too. Definitely a fantasy read I really liked! I'll link it: https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Magic-Deluxe-Alice-Hoffman/dp/0593718143/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xVNdWzJLV92ItIzbDrSf2ZkKWvelzvBX79WxHzQv3h2Sbt0YLDFmpk-7aWavpe8Y3R3sZWwkp5ZK7ZtHqL9Yr-PnkgWpyTUgJRXwuMO1DgorwL4w6nDZvoClBGqn4gjgj5roaVy1o5bCFXGjQ_bQvs-5KXs9JabzGZXL-axtC8rGtG8tN-OqT6F4ugpBEud1QZojQ8dLicFFBPBm57mFb6XRYQhTjAD0ruhzMaal2L4.9wschPRV9O6TsEQ81s73FkrA1GkpM1Q34S4gLhIeRug&qid=1727456206&sr=1-1
Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young (picked up from my local library): This book was a hard one to put down- it was full of forgotten love, witchery/magic, and even set in moody Washington state (sensing Twilight vibes here, anyone?). So good! I'll link it: https://www.amazon.com/Spells-Forgetting-Novel-Adrienne-Young/dp/0593358511/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
I do hope you enjoyed this month's post! Thank you for reading! Now, go get cozy + enjoy your day today!
