Hello didong, September is here: with the approach of a new season, and the beginning of a new academic year, comes the feeling of starting fresh. Perhaps you'll take this moment to build good routines, commit to new habits, or resume old ones — like reading a few pages before bed, or challenging yourself to read for 10 minutes every day. And to help you along, I've rounded up a selection of great books to read in September, including atmospheric fantasy and short stories you can easily dip in and out of. ✨ Glen Gabel's YA fantasy novel The Soothsayer follows shy and lonely teen Colin Devereaux, who's struggling to cope with his mother's cancer diagnosis and worsening condition. When a stranger gives him a mysterious puzzle box that reveals a path to a different world, it changes everything. Does Colin have what it takes to save his mother's life and the world from the evil lurking in the shadows? This is a rich and beautifully written fantasy novel for fans of The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. ⛰ Older fantasy readers will want to check out Andalaya by Corey Rusick, set in the land of Iria. The Sages, an ancient order with special abilities, used to live in Iria, but have long since disappeared. An exiled warrior, a scholar, and a thief join forces to search for the lost home of the mysterious Sages. But will finding them save the country from war? Fans of the Blood Heir trilogy and An Ember in the Ashes will enjoy this first installment of the Epic of the Sages series for its expertly crafted worldbuilding and lyrical writing. 🪂 The Lucky Seven by Norman W. Holden tells the true story of Second Lieutenant James J. Goebel, Jr. and his fellow crew members, who were forced to parachute out of their wrecked heavy bomber above occupied Belgium in 1944. Readers of WWII books won't want to miss this captivating story about courage and survival, following the men's astonishing journey to safety. Reviewer Kristine L., a WWII book enthusiast, says it's one of the best she has read. For more original stories, don't miss Donald Firesmith's Future Dreams and Nightmares — a collection of eleven highly imaginative sci-fi stories centered around the theme of dreaming or being in a state of dreamlike consciousness.
