September was definitely overshadowed by the disappointment of TKATM. This was one of my most anticipated reads and I was SO excited but then was left so meh about it 😩 on the bright side though two of my biggest wins this month was absolutely falling in love with Anne ❤️ and I loved The Will of the Many and can’t wait to read TSOTF this month. Other wins: physically rereading Emma has been delightful, the only plane in the sky brought perspective and reminded me just how absolutely devastating that day was.

Between shades of gray???? What??? This book is one of my favorite and I read close to 75-100 books annually from a wide spectrum. It is such a stunning book.

So many of my favorites! The only plane, Anne, Emma, and Between Shades of Gray. Loved reading The Will of the Many with you! I liked First Time Caller but it wasn’t my favorite. I need to read A Girl Called Samson.

The Only Plane in the Sky was truly great. I listened to the audiobook and wholeheartedly recommend it. Very serious topic of course it’s 9/11, but it’s also a story of courage and resilience.

I liked the Knave and the Moon, but the Knight and the Moth was excellent

Have you read Blue Castle by LM Montgomery? It’s one I stumbled upon that was a surprise five star read for me. I just loved how simple and sweet, but captivating it was!

Awesome no DNFs! Same, I thought First Time Caller was Okay, but I really enjoyed the next book, And Now, Back to You. Idk what it was 🤷‍♀️

I’m so happy you loved Anne and the Ornithologists!! Such a bummer that you didn’t love The Knave and the Moon though. I have that up next and now I’m scared 🙈 I still need to read The Strength of the Few. I think I might need to re-read The Will of the Many first though because it’s been so long since I read it!

I’m glad you enjoyed Ornithologists! Will of the Many and Of Empires and Dust were both amazing reads for me too!

I hate when a book doesn’t live up to your hopes! I’ve been hearing that a lot though for The Knave and the Moon

Also love EML and TWOTM! And agreed The Knave and the Moon was just okay. I was also sad about that but I totally will still read Rachel Gillig in the future

TKATM 😮 oh no, I’m nervous now I haven’t read it yet. I just haven’t felt like picking it up 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I loved TWOTM!
