September wrap-up
Seriously, September already over?!
I just celebrated my 8th blogiversary this past Saturday, September 29. I knew it was coming, but it came too fast and I didn’t have time to do anything special for it!
It was not a stellar month for reading, though better than the summer.
Here is what I read in September:
6 books:
5 in print and 1 in audio
= with 1,441 pages, an average of 48 pages/day
1 in audio
= with 10H54, an average of 21 mn/day
3 in nonfiction
-
The Piano Shop on the Left Bank, by Thad Carhart

Democracy in Chains, by Nancy MacLean – audio

Fear: Trump in the White House, by Bob Woodward
2 in mystery:

Plans for October
- Catch up with a few long reviews, and start doing short reviews posts!! Possibly experiment with weekly wrap up.
- I have tons of quotations from books I read this past year, I would like to start scheduling some of that.
- Possibly also a meme based on top Google search queries and my Goodreads shelves!
Come back tomorrow
to see the books I plan to read in October!
How was YOUR month of September?

Good to hear you really enjoyed Alex Rider. I would like to read the Trump book, I must see if I can pick it up at the library.

I do need to do a short review on Fear. It’s very well done. There’s probably a huge line of people requesting it at your library. I was just curious ad just looked at the status of this one at my own library. They bought 38 copies, and there are 68 holds… So glad I requested it as soon as I knew it would be published, so I managed to get it from my library on release day.

I just finished a French written translated book called A Winter’s Promise! Earlier in the year I read The Book of Pearl which was the same and I adored both books!! Your French blog just reminded me of them both. ❤
