I need to stop a minute and tell you about The Night Circus.  I have tried and tried to write a review, but nothing I write expresses how I feel about the book.  It was amazing:  magical, heartbreaking, wonderous, dark.  This is a book you need to set aside time to read - it's not for reading while you're on hold with the cable company, or while you're waiting in the pick-up line at school.  You need to pay attention or you'll miss the nuances that make this book so special.  It took me forever to finish; my copy is battered and torn in several places, I took it with me everywhere.  I highly recommend.

Now, what did Pam review in September?  Quite a varied selection:
1.  Sweet Venom by Terra Lynn Childs (4 stars)
2.  Chosen by Paula Bradley (3 stars)
3.  Where Demons Fear to Tread by Stephanie Chong (4 stars)
4.  In a Treacherous Court by Michelle Diener (2 1/2 stars)
5.  Deep Disclosure by Dee Davis (2 stars)

In addition, I interviewed one of my favorite authors - Lauren Dane (that giveaway is closed, btw).  It was so hard not to fangirl squee all the questions, lol.

Some great new covers are out for Molly Harper and Chloe Neill, and October is looking to be a FABulous month of new releases!  I've got a few author interviews and giveaways coming up on October, so WATCH THIS SPACE!!
