What Did You Read in September?

[dorothyinAus]

It was a slow month for me, just 4 books.

48. Murder in Chelsea
49. What a Girl Wants
50. Laura Ingalls Wilder:  A Writer's Life
51. Unnatural Habits

But I hit my annual goal on Sept. 2, when I finished Murder in Chelsea, so that's good, especially since it started as a slow year, only finishing 5 books in January & February combined!

China Dolls, Lisa See - 3*
Drums of Autumn (Outlander #4), Diana Galbadon - 3.5*
The Book of Life, Deborah Harkness (All Souls Triology #3) - 4*
The Husband's Secret, Liane Moriarty - 4*

37/50 for the year.

A Thousand Splendid Suns- Khaled Hosseini 5 stars
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks- Rebecca Skloot 4.5 stars

Those are 48/52 for my goal this year.

Slow month for me but I'm also 28% into 11/22/63 and have been reading two pregnancy books periodically over the last few months.

Murder In Chelsea

Did you enjoy Murder in Chelsea?  I thought it was a very good installment in the series, but I'm not sure what will happen next in the overarching story.  I'm not sure if I like the way the characters have been taken.  (I'm trying not to say too much in case others worry about spoilers.)

[Skyesthelimit1212]

Thank you for the welcomes.

I liked Murder In Chelsea. I see the new books taking the route via The Thomas Pitt series by Anne Perry. He's a police detective, Charlotte is the wife that married him despite his lower station and then squirrels her way into his cases.

My Mom reads the Charlotte & Thomas Pitt mysteries, and my Dad reads Perry's Monk series but I've never tried either.  We all read mysteries, but very few of our series overlap.

I read both series, though I have to admit that I prefer the Pitt series more.

Have you read the The Mistress Of The Art Of Death series? 

I really enjoyed it.

I am not good at noting what I read each month, because I can not remember.  Even now, I know I read at least two more books!  I need to make this a goal.

September:

Blessings - Anna Quindlen

Tell the Wolves I'm Home - Carol Rifka Brunt

[2curlydogs]

Madam Secretary by Madeleine Albright
The Queen Mother: The Official Biography by William Shawcross
The Mighty and the Almighty by Madeleine Albright.

I started The Guns of August and got about 2/3 of the way thru and then my loan expired and I couldn't renew it cause there was a hold on it. So I'm back on the hold list for that.

I think most of us use Goodreads.com. It's a free site, and pretty easy to navigate.
I would never be able to remember what I read if I didn't use it!

At the Mountains of Madness by HP Lovecraft - 2 stars
Lullaby, Watersong #2 by Amanda Hocking - 3 Stars
The Haunter of the Dark by HP Lovecraft - 4 Stars
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - 5 Stars

Pretty good month for me. 27/40 books read for my goal. I'm only about 2 behind goal right now.

The Enchanted ***
Anne of the Island ***
Fall of Giants ****
Winter of the World *****
Anne of Windy Poplars **
Edge of Eternity ****
Summer House **
Station Eleven ***

I'm currently at 73 books out of 90 for my goal. I don't think it should be a problem to hit goal. I may have to nick a few more 200-300 pagers to do that though.

I hardly ever hold off on finishing a series. I love series and usually can't wait to see what happens. (Please note above The Century Trilogy of which I read nearly 3000 pages of in in month).
