Welcome back to another monthly book ranking!
As I did in August, I will be ranking all of the books I read in September from worst to best with no explanations! If you want to read my thoughts on any of the books, all of the reading roundups featuring the books will be linked!
September was a much lighter reading month due to a busy work schedule, but I still read some awesome books! Also, as I do every month, a friendly reminder that I rank books based on how much I enjoy them, not how good I think they are. If you like any books I didn’t enjoy, that’s okay! If you hate any of the books I enjoyed, that’s also okay!
Without further ado, here are all thirteen books I read in September, ranked.
