Once again, by a simple twist of fate, I read 13 books last month. When I finished the W B Yeats poetry collection, after reading it for years, I got a bonus book. Now I am two books ahead on my challenge to read 12 books a month all year. I call that insurance because my reading often gets interfered with by the holidays.
The places I went: Great Britain, Russia, Morocco, France, Ireland, Chile, Brazil, Guatemala, Wales, the Caribbean, and USA.
Authors new to me: Elizabeth Hawes, W B Yeats, Heidi Pitlor, Angie Thomas
Stats: 13 books read. 11 fiction. 9 written by women. 4 for my Big Fat Reading Project. 2 translated. 2 speculative fiction. 1 fantasy. 1 mystery. 1 biography. 1 poetry. 1 Young Adult
Favorites: Spinning Silver, Camus A Romance, Lake Success, Mermaids in Paradise
Least favorites: none
Have you read any of these books? How did your September reading go?
That's a great month of reading. I haven't read any of those books, but I would love to read Spinning Silver. I'm impressed that you've been visiting so many different countries in your reading!
ReplyDeleteYes, I traveled the world last month! It was fun and informative for sure.
DeleteI'm always amazed at how many books you read per month!! And such diverse reads too. I'm looking forward to reading your review of The Hate U GIve.
ReplyDeleteReading. I love it more than anything. I am looking forward to seeing the movie of The Hate U Give.
DeleteI haven't read any of the books you read. I have read a couple of the authors, though, Albert Camus is my favourite French author but I've read books by Anne Patchett (one I liked, one I didn't), Isabel Allende (and liked all of them), and Alexander Solschenizyn
ReplyDeleteMy September reading was alright, I read nine books, and some of them were really amazing.
Happy Reading!
Thanks Marianne! I am glad to know you like Isabel Allende. I think she is amazing.
Deleteawesome list. I loved Bel Canto a lot. And it's amazing it was made into an opera!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Emma!
DeleteYou're still on a roll and I'm still trying to catch up. Sounds about right. What did you think of Lake Success? The author is in town here tonight and I'm thinking whether I should go. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteLake Success is a big success. I am a Shteyngart fan. In fact, I went to his event in LA. I saw your comment about him being there tonight on Twitter. Then I tweeted him to tell him to say hi to you, so you better go! My review will post tomorrow.
DeleteSo many books! As always, I'm in awe. Look forward to your remaining reviews.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to catch up on those reviews-:) As always.
DeleteWow, well done again to beating your goal to read 12 books a month! You're on fire! Sadly my reading numbers dipped in September, but now I am settled into my new job hopefully my numbers will rise again. Happy October reading! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jessica. I am on a roll! Happy October reading to you as well.
