Hi Subscriber First Name! ::cues up Earth, Wind, and Fire in the background::
”Do you remembah, the 21st night of Septembah?”
How are we already in the ‘Ber months, y’all?? I mean, I’m not complaining. September is a glorious month. It’s my sister’s birthday, the weather starts turning cooler (where I’m at), and the kids go back to school so our grocery bill goes exponentially down, lol. Plus, if you are a Planner Person, it’s Planner Launch Season! So many new planners, so little money. :/ If you’re wondering whether or not I’ve picked my planners (yes, plural) for 2025…NOPE. Do I have a small notebook where I’ve been furiously mind-mapping and journaling all of my options for next year? I plead the fifth! But I digress, you aren’t here for Planner Talk (unless you are, then YESSS, hit me up over on IG, yo!), we’re here to talk about BOOKS. NEW BOOKS! So many are coming this fall and it was hard to narrow it down to ten so this email wouldn’t be a mile long, lol. I hope you like this month’s choices. I tried to get a good mix of both romance and mystery - something for everyone hopefully!
Now…ONTO THE BOOKS!

Mated to My Ex
Kate Prior
Paranormal Romance
September 2, 2024
Goodreads
I’m a sucker for werewolf romances/fated mates, and this story involves both of those things! Yay! But I’m not a fan of second chance romances and these two are divorced. BOO! BUT, y’all, there’s every chance of pining in this one. Plus knotting and chasing, so yeah, I’m in! |

Here One Moment
Liane Moriarty
Mystery/Thriller
September 10, 2024
Goodreads Listen, you just have to tell me that Liane Moriarty has a new book and I. AM. THERE. I don’t even need a summary - she’s one of my One-Click-Buy Authors. But, if you need more than that, this book sounds like Final Destination, The Book, lol. |

An Academy for Liars Alexis Henderson Horror/Gothic September 17, 2024 Goodreads
I’ve been told that despite the setting for this book being a hidden School of Magic, it is not in fact, YA, but an adult gothic/horror mystery thing. I’m truly hoping this is creepy and dark and unsettling because it’s almost Spooky Season and I am ready to be scared!

Love & Sportsball Meka James Contemporary Romance September 24, 2024 Goodreads
Y’all!! I have been WAITING for this book!! It features an athletic trainer and one of the players on the team she works for - HELLO! As a former athletic trainer myself, I’m not only excited to see this profession in the spotlight but also to see how this workplace romance gets handled, cause I’ve been there and WHEW, it can get MESSY. HA. |

The Finest Print Erin Langston Historical Romance September 24, 2024 Goodreads
She’s a failing novelist, he’s a printer in a failing print shop and together they are going to save their respective careers and maybe each other. ::GASP:: I love this author’s previous works and I have zero doubt that this one will be one the most precious, yet steamy love stories we will read this year. |

A Love Most Fatal Kath Richards Contemporary Romance September 26, 2024 Goodreads
Okay, let me be real here. I heard about this book on Twitter and was struck by the tagline, “A Mafia Rom Com”. Lol, wut?? Sounds amazing and yet it could be terrible? I haven’t read Mafia Romance since my Twilight FanFic days but I’m ready to jump into this one. I have an ARC of it, so I will let y’all know. |

Death on Deck Courtny Bradley Cozy Mystery September 30, 2024 Goodreads
I’ve been an IG/YouTube follower of Courtny’s for years now. Her video on “Cozy Mysteries for Beginners” is what started me reading cozies and I’m THRILLED that she’s written her own! This story features a group of retired women in their 60s who are all on a cruise together, when DUN DUN DUN…murder! |

Death at the Dinner Party Ellie Alexander Cozy Mystery September 30, 2024 Goodreads
This is Book #3 in the Secret Bookcase Mysteries and while I don’t like to rec books of an already started series, I will say that these are super quick reads and I feel like you could catch up quickly. This installation finds us back in Redwood Grove where a fundraiser/dinner party goes wrong and the town bully ends up dead. So many enemies, so many reasons for this man to die…who wanted him dead the most? |

September Social Media Templates
|
|
This month I was feeling a dark academia vibe, but I didn’t want to lean too much into the spooky since I’ve still got October’s templates to create. So, I went with some dark and heavy florals to set the mood for Fall. Yes, I know technically it’s still Summer, but I had ::ahem:: three leaves fall in front of me while I was hiking this past weekend, so it’s Fall to me, lol.
To use the templates over on IG, just right-click and save. And feel free to tag me! I LOVE seeing these pop up in my stories!
As always, these are all in the free printable library for you to directly download, as well as some other reading trackers/planner pages.
