Favorite Books of the Month:
Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez - I didn't love all of this book but I loved the characters and the ending made me so happy. This was a great audio. Both narrators did a good job and added to the reading experience.
Death in the Countryside by Maria Malone - This was the first in a cozy/police procedural mystery series and I really enjoyed it.
Bookish Armchair Travel for September
Domestic Travel: The only new state I visited was Hawaii, but I also visited Minnesota, Washington, Massachusetts, Florida, and California.
International Travel: I had a fairly busy international travel month. I visited England (4 times), Iceland, Egypt, and Costa Rica
What was your favorite book in September? Where did your reading take you?
A good ending can redeem a book for me.
ReplyDeleteI love the places you traveled. I need to get on my monthly recap too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful that you enjoyed so many of your reads.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
You did have a good reading month, Katherine. I only managed 6 books, but one was very long. It was my favorite. The new Cormoran Strike book. I love that series.
ReplyDeleteIn the last few years Abby Jimenez has become one of my top favourite romance authors. I think I may have the print version of this one, but in actual fact I prefer them in audio format.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great reading month! I do enjoy your "travel" recap. I didn't keep track, but looking back over what I read, I visited southern California, Washington state, and Philadelphia domestically. Foreign travel included rural Ireland and historical London. Fantasy destinations included Talamh (a magical offshoot of Ireland, basically), magical 1850s Britain, and a nearly-deserted island with an enchanted greenhouse and one grumpy gardener.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of books by Abby Jimenez, but I haven't read them yet. I hope to read them soon. You had a great September!
ReplyDeleteYou had such a wonderful month. I hope October fairs the same or better!
ReplyDeleteIceland is intriguing. A lot of my friends have traveled there and loved it. They all want to go back. 🗺
ReplyDeleteAll of the books I read in September were pretty much duds except for my re-read of Out of Oz. 🌪
