  1. All your books read rank at a 3 or above - that sounds like a pretty good reading month. I hope it continues into the month of October!

  4. I also enjoyed Daughters of Erietown in September. And I used to work with Lisa Unger years ago when we both worked for what was then Putnam Berkley. The Lady in the Lake was not my favorite Lippman but I usually enjoy her books (and she is a big Betsy-Tacy fan).

  7. Glad you liked The Vanishing Half ... I did too ... it seemed to be the book of the summer since I saw it all over the place. I like how you mix print, ebook & audios --- as I do too!

  9. You're the second person to mention Hieroglyphics today so I'm intensely curious about that one. I hadn't heard of it until this morning. Hope you have a good October!

  12. Sadly, homeschool reading and the upcoming election have really put the kabosh on my fun reading. Too much on my plate to sit quietly with a book. I'd like to say I'm trying but I really don't have the energy for the lie :)

  13. I am so looking forward to The Vanishing Half. I liked Unsheltered better than you did, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite Kingsolver. I also want to read The Daughters of Erietown.

    Happy October!

  14. You are still doing really well with your reading. I fell off the cliff this week with my reading. Will get back to it but who can concentrate with all that is going on. You think it can't possibly get worse and then it does.
