September
This post is very, very late but life has been messy recently so 🤷♀️ September was a bad month in terms of my health but I read 8 books which I’m really proud of – especially considering how bad I’ve been feeling recently.

GoodReads Review
So yes, I know a lot of these books are children’s picture books but to me they count so shh. I enjoyed almost all of the books I picked up as well, which is something I really needed in September.
Reading Challenges
GoodReads:
I managed to get to 60/80 books in September, which I’m quite happy about – 75% is a good place to be in at the end of September.
Beat the Backlist:
At this point this challenge may as well not even be mentioned, so it won’t be in my next sum-up post ha.

Health
Sooo, in September my mental health was all over the place & I found out that I’m having another procedure done on my bladder… this should be the last one though, & then my doctor & I are going to put some other things in place so that I don’t have to have an op every 6 months like I have done over the last couple of years.
I also got referred for hydrotherapy again & my first session was booked for October 01st; this time around we’ll be working on my back & shoulders, to try & build up my core strength, which should reduce some of my pain. I loved having hydrotherapy the first time around (for my knees), so I have high hopes.
