Overall Reflection: 
Well, it's been a busy month. After a three year hiatus, I've finally returned to school! While this will allow me to better pursue my career options, re-acclimating myself to the academic setting has proven to be time consuming, not leaving much time for recreational reading. Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer left me wanting more. I had highly anticipated it's release after its successor, Nightshade, and was rather underwhelmed. Away by Teri Hall was a bit more enjoyable, but again, was somewhat lacking in the shadow of it's predecessor. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern swept me away into a magical setting full of unexpected surprises. It was my favorite read of the month! Lastly, Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor had a glitch mid-novel, but was overall enjoyable. Not my best month of reading. Hopefully, once I am more comfortable with my school work, I will be able to return a more regular pace of recreational reading.
