I'm reading The Hating Game, an enemies to lovers romance. It is excellent so far. I also just started listening to a Patrick O'Brian book, which is excellent, and am beta-reading a friend's short book. So far, my September reading is going really well.

Painting is still going slowly, although I'm definitely working my way toward some of the more central parts of the painting. Unfortunately, I'm going to definitely be late on the other painting (a landscape), which I'm disappointed about.
