SEPTEMBER 2022 WRAP-UP
I have only read 6 books this month, but I also listened to 6 audiobooks, so that’s a decent result.
And I just finished book 101 of the year!
I’m currently 12 books ahead of schedule (84% done) to read 120 books this year.
This past month, I also started a 4th list of Classics for The Classics Club.
And yesterday, I celebrated my 12th blogiversary!
📚 Here is what I read in September:
12 books:
6 in print
= with 1,459 pages, a daily average of 48 pages/day

You had a great month! Glad to hear you enjoyed Malice. I did as well. I love his clean writing style. This seems to be common with Japanese writers. Also would love to read the T.H. White series. Hope you October is just as good!

Six audiobooks in a month is really impressive. I don’t think I’ve listened to that many in a month ever. 101 books is so amazing! Congratulations. Hope you have a productive October!

Hi Emma, It’s great to see that you’re exploring some children’s classics! The Sword in the Stone was one of my favouritebooks as a child. (I also loved the Hawk book that introduced you to White!)

Yes, some children’s classics are so powerful. As I didn’t grow up in an English speaking country, I missed them, plus my tiny village didn’t have a library
