September 2025 Comfy Reading Wrap-Up
September felt like a bridge between summer and fall—emotionally rich romances, a little sports-lit fun, and the start of some heavier, character-driven reads. There was a strong mix of comfort books and emotionally intense stories, making this a surprisingly full reading month. Here’s everything I read in September 2025:
September Comfy Pick of the Month: Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall
Books Read: 7
Flower – Elizabeth Craft & Shea Olson
This one surprised me with its emotional depth. While the romance is central, the real strength of the book lies in its exploration of vulnerability, grief, and personal growth. It felt intimate and character-focused, with moments that lingered quietly after I finished.
Broken Country – Clare Leslie Hall
Atmospheric and haunting, this novel leaned more literary and contemplative. The setting played a huge role in the story, and the emotional tension built slowly but deliberately. It’s not a fast read, but it’s deeply immersive and rewarding.
The Prospects – K.T. Hoffman
This was such a refreshing read. A sports romance with heart, humor, and meaningful representation, The Prospects balanced romance and self-discovery beautifully. It felt modern, hopeful, and genuinely fun.
The Summer Seekers – Sarah Morgan
This book felt like extended summer in the best way. Warm, hopeful, and comforting, it focused on friendship, second chances, and embracing new chapters later in life. A great reminder that adventure doesn’t have an expiration date.
Beautiful Bitch – Christina Lauren
Pure fun. This novella was fast-paced, playful, and unapologetically steamy. It didn’t try to be deep—it just delivered entertainment, chemistry, and banter, which is sometimes exactly what you need.
Beautiful Bombshell – Christina Lauren
Another quick, charming read that leaned into humor and romance. These novellas are perfect palate cleansers, and this one was no exception—short, sweet, and satisfying.
Keeping 13 – Chloe Walsh
Emotionally intense and heavy, this book demanded time and emotional investment. Chloe Walsh’s characters are deeply complex, and Keeping 13 continued that trend with raw emotion and realistic struggles. Not an easy read—but a powerful one. This book is part of a series.
