It’s officially spooky season! 🎃 The first day of fall 🍂 and my birthday 🎂 both passed last week so it feels like the perfect time to share a few September favorites. Instead of spotlighting just one book, I’m highlighting a whole series I devoured this month along with the mani I loved most.
📖 Favorite Series I Read: Tattered & Torn by Catherine Cowles
This series has been sitting on my TBR for ages. I finally dove in after realizing I already owned the first two books (one of them signed!), and I’m so glad I did. Honestly, I’m kicking myself for waiting so long. Tattered & Torn might just be my favorite Catherine Cowles series yet, tied closely with Sparrow Falls.
Here’s how I’d rank the five books, from favorite to least favorite:
- Tattered Stars (Book 1)
- Fractured Sky (Book 5)
- Shattered Sea (Book 4)
- Hidden Waters (Book 3)
- Falling Embers (Book 2)
If you’ve enjoyed Catherine Cowles’ Sparrow Falls series or like romantic suspense that balances swoony romance with page-turning tension, the Tattered & Torn series is a must-read.
💅 Favorite Manicure: Lights Lacquer Clueless & Cherry Wine
This month I was all about deep red manis. For my birthday, I decided to go with a red French tip using Lights Lacquer polishes. The base is Clueless and the tips are Cherry Wine. I used the Lights Lacquer nail stamper to get the look. The tips were created easily though cleanup was trickier since Cherry Wine is a bit more liquid than expected. Still, I love how it turned out and it felt so fitting for a birthday mani.
