Wow, I can’t believe that September has already come and gone! This month was a blur, particularly the beginning of the month when I was prepping for and then attending Fashion Week events- which lead me to choose fashion week as September’s theme. Although I sent out my letter a few days late, once all the madness had died down a bit, it was nice to have a moment to sit down and write about my first fashion week experience for my penpal.
Both Christine and Catie wrote about the Correspondence Club this month, so I highly encourage you to check out their posts! Also, if you’re currently a member of the club, you’ve already heard about the special perk that I’ve organized with Kaitlyn of isavirtue (if you didn’t hear about it, shoot me an email to get more information)!
We’re starting a new round this month (you’ll have the same partner for October, November, and December) so if you’ve been waiting to join the Correspondence Club, now is certainly the time! Do you want to join the Correspondence Club for October? We’d love to have you! If you would like to participate in October, please send me your information by midnight on Sunday (September 30th at 11:59pm EST).
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]
