September 2026 TBR

We’re officially entering the best time of the year. I live for September through January. So, let’s kick off my favorite season with my September 2026 tbr.

I started Edge of Eternity in August. I imagine it’s going to take most of the month. I think I need something fast and fun to break that up. House of Shadow and Flame made me crave more romantasy and fantasy in general, so I think that’s what I’m going to do this month.

Onyx Storm

Synopsis:

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth.

But a storm is coming…and not everyone can survive its wrath.

Well, look who’s back. I said I probably wouldn’t finish this series but here I am. In my defense, I didn’t want to buy the book because I didn’t know if I would love it. Book two fell flat in my opinion. However, it’s come to my attention that Onyx Storm is on Kindle Unlimited, which means it’s basically free. I’m willing to give it a shot at that price, hahaha.

Quicksilver

Synopsis:

Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.

Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange alchemical powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been stealing from the Undying Queen for most of her twenty-four years. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it’s bound to come undone.

When Saeris is caught stealing something she shouldn’t, she accidentally reopens a dormant gateway between realms and is whisked away to a land of ice and snow. There, she discovers that the Fae–creatures of legend and nightmare–are not only real, but they are caught up in a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

After inadvertently binding herself to a secretive and incredibly powerful Fae warrior named Kingfisher, Saeris quickly learns that he will use her secret magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her.

Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details…

Quick Silver is another book that I’m not willing to buy, but since it’s on Kindle Unlimited, I’m willing to try it. It’s a really popular romantasy and since that’s what I’m looking for I’m going to give it a try.

The Golem and the Jinni

Synopsis:

Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay by a disgraced rabbi knowledgeable in the ways of dark Kabbalistic magic. She serves as the wife to a Polish merchant who dies at sea on the voyage to America. As the ship arrives in New York in 1899, Chava is unmoored and adrift until a rabbi on the Lower East Side recognizes her for the creature she is and takes her in.

Ahmad is a jinni, a being of fire born in the ancient Syrian desert and trapped centuries ago in an old copper flask by a Bedouin wizard. Released by a Syrian tinsmith in a Manhattan shop, Ahmad appears in human form but is still not free. An iron band around his wrist binds him to the wizard and to the physical world.

Chava and Ahmad meet accidentally and become friends and soul mates—unlikely souls connected despite their opposing natures. But when the golem’s violent nature overtakes her one evening, their bond is challenged. An even more powerful threat will emerge, however, and bring Chava and Ahmad together again, challenging their very existence and forcing them to make a fateful choice.

I know very little about Golem and the Jinni, but it looked so interesting to me. It’s historical fiction and fantasy mixed. It sounds like the perfect thing for me. Also, It’s based on a culture I know nothing about and expanding my knowledge a little is always a plus.

Into the Drowning Deep

Synopsis:

The ocean is home to many myths … some are deadly …

Seven years ago the Atargatis set off on a voyage to the Mariana Trench to film a mockumentary bringing to life ancient sea creatures of legend. It was lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a tragedy.

Now a new crew has been assembled. But this time they’re not out to entertain. Some seek to validate their life’s work. Some seek the greatest hunt of all. Some seek the truth. But for the ambitious young scientist Victoria Stewart this is a voyage to uncover the fate of the sister she lost.

Whatever the truth may be, it will only be found below the waves.

But the secrets of the deep come with a price.

Lastly, I hope to get to Into the Drowning Deep. I think it would kick off spooky season perfectly. Spooky mermaid is not a thing I’ve read about but I’m here for it.

So that’s my September 2026 tbr. What are you reading? If you’re a blogger feel free to link your tbrs below. I’d love to read them.
