Hey guys it's Trina and this is my September TBR - to be read list - so these
are the books that I'm planning to read in September and this month I'm doing
the same thing that I did last year on my channel which is what I've been
calling Sequel September. This is not part of any other read-a-thons or
anything, I just did it last year randomly. There were actually plans in
the work to make this a real read-a-thon this year where anyone can join. Myself
and Isi from the channel Isabeau's Literary Musings were trying to set this
up and then a couple of other people actually beat us to it and they're doing
the exact same thing. Personally, I didn't want to put a lot of time and effort
into setting up like a community-wide read-a-thon when literally the exact
same thing already existed twice so I'm just doing this on my own again. The
first two books I'm putting on my TBR for September actually are not sequels
but I do want to read them this month because I was sent these advanced
copies and these are both books coming out in September so I need to get on it.
The first of those is Warcross by Marie Lu. I am currently between chapters
of this. I am on chapter 4. This is a YA sci-fi about this videogame that has
basically taken over the world. Our main character is a hacker and she ends up hacking
her way into the system and gaining the notice of the game's creator himself who
then recruits her to like be his personal spy and like track down a
criminal or something. Sounds very intriguing to me so I was definitely
interested in this book already before Penguin Teen sent me this ARC and I'm
really happy to have it. This one comes out on September 12 so I
am planning to read it before then and I will post my review on Goodreads
whenever I am finished. The other ARC on my list this month is Jane, Unlimited by
Kristin Cashore, which was also sent to me by Penguin Teen and this one comes
out on September 19th so again I'm needing to read it before then to post
the review on Goodreads a little bit early. This is about a main character who
was raised by her aunt and she's promised her aunt that if she ever gets
invited to this thing she'll go, and then her aunt dies and she gets invited to
this thing so she goes to fulfill that promise to her aunt and apparently what
it is is she's invited to go to this mysterious island
one really knows much about and while she is there she's gonna have to make
five choices that will greatly impact her life. This is a book that I'm
actually just really itching to read otherwise it would not be on my TBR this
month because I want to make more room for sequels but like I am dying to read
this book. On to the sequel portion of this TBR. So the way that I am doing this
is I knew I wanted to focus on sequels this month, I checked a bunch of them out
from the library that are part of series that I'm really interested in, so I have
eight sequels here and I'm gonna show you all eight that I have but I'm only
gonna make it a goal for myself to read four of these this month. And since there
are so many I'm gonna try to run through these pretty quickly so if I don't give
you guys a good description I will put Goodreads links down below. So the first
sequel that is on my radar this month is The Ends of the World by Maggie Hall
which is the third and final book in the Conspiracy of Us trilogy. I just started
this trilogy this year. It's one that you can really breeze through so I am hoping
to finish this book this month and actually knock out and like complete an
entire series. That would be really amazing. Then I have A Gathering of
Shadows by VE Schwab. I own this book, I've owned it since the day it came out
because I went to the launch party for this book and I have not read it yet.
This is the second book in the shades of magic trilogy so I'm two books behind in
this series. Next I have The Savage Dawn by Melissa Grey, which is the third and
final book in The Girl at Midnight trilogy. This is a series that I really
enjoy. There is a Latinx own voices main character. I love the group of characters
in this book and I really can't wait to see how this series ends. It's such an
underrated series but it's very intense. Again, hopefully I can get to this one
this month and actually finish a series. That would be awesome. I also have
Obsidian and Stars by Julie Eshbaugh which is the sequel to Ivory and Bone. I
think that there are gonna be three books in this series. I'm not totally
sure on that but this is a prehistoric YA series. The first book had some
Pride and Prejudice elements to it. I have no idea where the story is going in
this second book but I did really enjoy Ivory and Bone so I'm just kind of
looking forward to more of that prehistoric setting because it's not
something I've read much about. Then I have two books by Sophie Jordan
because I'm behind on two of her series. The first is Unleashed and this is the
second and final book in her Uninvited duology and it's like a dystopian sci-fi
about genetics. Scientists have pinpointed the gene for violence and our
main character finds out she has it and society all of a sudden treats her like
she's gonna be a murderer one day so let's go ahead and treat her like she
has already committed these crimes. So it's like a great examination of the
Pygmalion or the Golem effect. I really loved the first book and it has been
years since I read it so I've put this one off for so long for absolutely no reason.
And I have Rise of Fire, which is the second and final book in her Reign of
Shadows duology. This book only came out this year, I'm just a few months behind, just
a few. Like, it came out in February so that's probably more than a few months
but I really enjoyed the first book. It has like a post-apocalyptic survival
type vibe to it. I just really really enjoyed both of Sophie Jordan's first
books and really have no excuse to not have finished these because they're only
duologies. I also have Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson, which is the
sequel to Walk on Earth a Stranger. This is part of The Gold Seer trilogy. I think
it's just going to be three books. This is like a historical fiction set during
the California Gold Rush. The main character can sense where gold is in the
ground and she's trying to keep her power a secret. I really loved the survival tone
of that first book. I really enjoyed it, so again no good reason why I haven't
continued the series other than I'm just a slacker. And my final option here is A
Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir, which is the sequel to An Ember in the
Ashes. I think this is the second book in the trilogy - I think there's just going
to be three books, or actually there might be four books,
I don't remember, I'm not exactly sure but I did really enjoy the first book
and I'm at a point where I think I'm starting to forget the things that were
big plot points and of a lot of importance in the first book and I
really need to continue this series before I like totally forget things. So
these are my options for sequels that I might read this month and in addition
was The Ends of the World by Maggie Hall which is a digital copy. I have that one
on audiobook which is why it's not in this stack, but out of these books I'm
hoping to read four of them this month. So four sequels and then these
two ARCs. That is my TBR for the month. A total of six books. If you guys are
behind on any of these series let me know that too and then I won't feel as
alone. And I would especially like to know if you've read any of the sequels
that I showed, if you listened to them on audiobook let me know how the audiobook
was. I would also love to know what series you guys are behind on that you
really want to hurry up and catch up on. I will check in with my TBR at the end
of the month in my reading wrap-up so check back with that to see how I did
with these reading goals for September. Thank you guys so much for watching,
happy reading, and I will see you in the comments. Bye!
