Right now I’m all things Halloween, but back in September I read with a little more variety. Here are the highlights:

Five Stars:

Dear Martin by Nic Stone - This little book packed an incredible punch. I couldn‘t stop until I knew what happened.

Four Stars:

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt - When everyone started reviewing this book partially narrated by an octopus I didn‘t really think it was for me. Turns out I was wrong! I loved this audiobook.

This Was Our Pact by Ryan Andrews - Stayed in bed on the 22nd and read this cozy graphic novel that takes place on the Fall Equinox. It got me ready for ready for all things autumn!

American Rascal by Greg Steinmetz - This could have been a dry text, but Steinmetz kept it interesting. My favorite part was when he contrasted Gould‘s manipulations of the market with present day. Listened to this on a road trip, and my husband and I both enjoyed it.

Three Stars:

The Bodyguard by Katherine Center - This was adorable. I really enjoyed it. It was light, but still had a satisfying amount of character growth, and the love story was just right.

Overboard by Sara Paretsky - I say it every time I read one of these books- I want to be VI when I grow up. I‘ve been reading these since I was in high school and I really enjoy this series.

The Bright Continent by Dayo Olopade - A book about some of the good things happening in modern Africa. I‘m glad I read this one!
