I know it is only the middle of the month, but I really wanted to discuss all the books and movies coming out in September, because some of them are really exciting! Anyways, here are the books and movies that I am excited for:
Books:
Tower of Dawn by Sarah J Maas
This is the sixth book in the Throne of Glass series, which is a series that I am not caught up with at all… I read the first three books and honestly, I have no idea what happened after that! If you didn’t know, this series follows a female assassin named Celaena Sardothien who has been worked at a slave camp only to be given the option to be freed by fighting for the chance to be the King’s personal assassin. It is a very steamy and action packed series, and I am hoping I will get caught up with it eventually! This book will be on shelves on September 5th.
Warcross by Marie Lu
From what I have heard, this has gotten great reviews and is something a lot of people are excited for. I enjoyed Marie Lu’s Legend trilogy and will definitely check her new book out! In this book, Warcross isn’t just a game but a way of life, and our main character takes a chance to make some cash by hacking into this elite program, but in the end, things definitely do not turn out how she hoped. The whole video game aspect has me really interested and I cannot wait to get my hands on this book on September 12th.
Movies:
IT
IT is a remake movie adapted from the Stephen King novel and I am so, so excited to watch this! Horror movies are movies I don’t generally watch often, but lately I have been in the mood so I cannot wait till this is released. This movie/book follows a group of kids who encounter a creature called “it” that preys on children and takes form as a sadistic clown. The trailer looked really creepy and amazing, and it is released in theaters on September 8th.
Flatliners
This is another remake movie about a group of doctors who make their hearts stop and then beat again, returning from whatever mysterious dimension we go to after death. They get carried away though, and stop their heart for longer and longer each time only to face the severe consequences afterwards. This movie also looked very creepy and eerie, and surprisingly looked like something I would enjoy. It also stars Nina Dobrev, and if you read some of my previous blog posts you would know I am a sucker for the Vampire Diaries TV series! Flatliners comes out on September 29th.
Those are all the books and movies I am looking forward to in the month of September and I hope you enjoyed. Don’t forget to check out my last blog post: Bingeable Book Series!
The Heir by Kiera Cass – When I think of books that get on my nerves, this is the first book that comes to mind. If you didn’t know, The Heir is a continuation of the Selection series and in my opinion, is a continuation that was not needed. The first three books in the Selection series were great, but they had to ruin it with this book! The Heir is a sequel that takes place 20ish years after the events of The One, and follows America and Maxon’s daughter Eadlyn who is of age and has to hold a selection to find “the one”. I enjoyed seeing America and Maxon again, but there daughter, Eadlyn is such a hard character to like! She is whiny, inconsiderate and incredibly selfish, and is in no way a relatable character. I honestly felt this book was unnecessary and I am sure there are a lot of people out there who agree!
but overall it did have some very frustrating moments! Lady Midnight follows two shadowhunters named Emma and Julian who live in a world of demons, magic and fighting. Our main characters are the frustrating part and I don’t want to spoil anything for people who haven’t read this book, but if you have you know what I am talking about!
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell – Again I love Fangirl but our main character is such a stubborn character sometimes that it irritates me. Fangirl follows a girl named Cath who is attending her first year of college with her twin sister, Wren, and while Wren wants to be independent and have fun, Cath is much more shy and reluctant. I do love this book, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes I wanted to scream at Cath to take a risk for once, or just leave her dorm room instead of moping around and letting life pass her!
Prodigy by Marie Lu – I really enjoyed Prodigy but the relationship between our main characters is something I don’t always enjoy. The first book in this trilogy, Legend, follows a teenage criminal named Day and a soldier named June who become an unlikely team as they band together for revenge. I am honestly not a huge fan of June because in my opinion, she is quite a hard person to like and see through her suit of rock hard iron, so I did have some moments were I gritted my teeth during specific scenes.
Divergent by Veronica Roth – This is a no brainer because the Divergent trilogy is one of the most iconic dystopian books ever! I really loved the first book, Divergent, and while the other two weren’t my favourite, I still really recommend this series because it is unique and a great read! Divergent is about sixteen year old, Tris Prior who has to take an aptitude test that will determine where she belongs, but when the results are complicated she finds herself having to hide who she truly is.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins – Again, another famous dystopian series that you have to read if you haven’t already. The Hunger Games takes place in a world where every year, twenty-four kids are picked to fight to the death in payment for a war that happened many years ago. When Katniss Everdeen volunteers to fight in her sister’s place, she becomes the spark of a growing revolution.
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi – Shatter Me is a fun and entertaining trilogy that is so poetic and heart wrenching. It follows a girl named Juliette who has been imprisoned for many years because she has strange powers, but when she is broken out she realizes she isn’t the only oddball in her world. There is lots of action and romance in this book trilogy and I totally recommend it!
The Selection by Kiera Cass – This series is basically a mash up of The Bachelor and The Hunger Games and is honestly so awesome. The main character can get on your nerves but overall it is a thrilling and adorable read! The Selection follows America Singer who enters a competition for the Prince’s heart but things get complicated when she is in love with somebody else.
Legend by Marie Lu – The first two books in this series are so flipping fantastic and you NEED to read this trilogy! Legend takes place in a futuristic California and follows our two main characters, June and Day. June is part of the army and Day is a convicted criminal, but when June sets out on a mission to hunt him down she realizes things aren’t the way she was taught they were.
