In September I read (16) books (exactly the same # as last month). The quality of my reads was good. (Just (1) book was pretty bad: Stuart Woods – Loitering With Intent). My favorite book was an audio: Lisa Gardner’s: The Neighbor.

September turned out to be a really good month for you!! I think I might keep stats for myself starting next year...it's fun to go back and see how each month turned out!
ReplyDeleteYou had an awesome month! I haven't looked at my totals yet, so I have no clue how much I've read.
ReplyDeleteYou read a lot in September! I didn't read quite as much as you, but I did post more often (partly due to BBAW, I think, and reading challenges).
ReplyDeleteWell done, Diane! I only managed 9 in September. :)
ReplyDeleteWow...16 books in one month. How do you remember each one without mixing them up? Amazing. Sounds like it was a fun month.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reading month you had! I don't think my September was very good in terms of books read but I read some great stories so I'm happy about that :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous month you had. I am impressed.
ReplyDeleteThat's some heavy-duty reading. I need to get to the library and pick up some audio books again. My drive is shorter than it used to be, but it's still and hour a day when I could be listening to a book.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm impressed with how much you accomplished in September -- what a great month!
ReplyDeleteAble to get rid of 40 books!!! You need to come and clear my shelves for me. Even though I know I won't read most again I have a tough time getting rid of them.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on such a great month--hope October is just as good for you!
I love wrap-up posts. I need to do mine ... though I only do them quarterly! ; )
ReplyDeleteAnd I just finished reading "The Neighbor" tonight. I really enjoy Lisa Gardner's books and when I saw it at the library, I couldn't resist. I thought it was great! Lots of suspense and I wasn't 100% sure where it was going. And I know it references a previous book that I read but I read it so long ago that I couldn't remember it. Argh.
Another good reading month for you! I hope you have a good October!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great month! I've never read anything by Lisa Gardner. I read 11 last month. My list will be posted in a few.
