September 2020 WRAP-UP
Not too sure where September went!
We have had some absolutely ideal weather, and I have used the opportunity to do some binge reading in the garden, in the sun.
The big excitement this past month was my 10th blogiversary on the 29th. I did a special post for it, and gave the name of the 2 winners.
So now, I’m going to try to do a monthly throwback Thursday post.
I’m also planning on doing a Newsletter, with special content.
📚 For now, here is what I read in September.
Only 7 books, but a few more pages and minutes than last month.
7 books:
4 in print
= with 1,212 pages, a daily average of 40 pages/day
3 in audio
= 31H25, a daily average of 1H02
3 in mystery:
- Pandemia, by Franck Thilliez – audio
- The French Widow, by Mark Pryor – ebook, for review
- All the Devils Are Here, by Louise Penny
2 in nonfiction:
- The 1st & 2nd Book of Chronicles (yes, I have actually decided to count these as 1) – audio, for The Classics Club
- Vesper Flights, by Helen McDonald – audio, for review
1 in literary fiction:

actually, I’m spending way too much time playing around with Italian and Russian, that’s taking away some of my reading time

It looks like a great reading month! had no idea Louise Penny has another book out and this time it is not set in the usual locations. I loved her The Beautiful Mystery but every time I am thinking about reading another book in the series I read some not-so-positive reviews and they discourage me a bit. All the Devils Are Here sounds great.

Ah yes, Louise Penny has a book out usually every August. This year, it was on September 1st. Wow, I’m not even aware of negative reviews of books by her. lol! You might want to look at my introduction on her series here: https://wordsandpeace.com/2015/10/24/travel-the-world-in-books-quebec-with-louise-penny/
