This month was good for reading but very bad for blogging! I’m so behind on reviews, but I’m hoping to catch up soon. Meanwhile, here are my stats for September:
Currently reading: Maggie Stiefvater’s The Dream Thieves and James Boswell’s Life of Samuel Johnson
Books read in September:
- Luis Fernando Verissimo, The Club of Angels
- Rhys Bowen, Royal Blood
- Mary Stewart, The Hollow Hills
- Isaac Asimov, A Whiff of Death
- Seanan McGuire, Chimes at Midnight
- Amy Patricia Meade, Million Dollar Baby
- Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
Favorite book of the month: I really enjoyed most of my reads for this month, but I have to say Fangirl. Loved the swoonworthy romance, college setting, and flat-out great writing.
Least favorite book of the month: Million Dollar Baby. I liked the premise, but the writing was sub-par, so I never really became invested in the story or characters.
