It's been a hot minute since I posted or reviewed any books. A welcome break that involved a family visit, lots of cleaning, and investing some time in resetting my home for the upcoming winter months. I guess you could say I was "nesting" and it was wonderful. It is wonderful. I'm ready for a Midwest winter and spending my evenings reading.
I read more in October than I have in months, and it was absolutely the best mental health medicine I could have asked for! Here's what I read in October, in no particular order:
This was a delightful cozy romance. Super popular right now. Will read the next two in this series.
Loved this historical novel about a lending library in England during World War 2. A single mother struggles to keep her daughter safe while secretly working under a ban that prevents widows and married women from working. An ode to the power of books to soothe sad hearts.
I didn't like this as much as I adored The Midnight Library, but it was definitely worth a read and will leave you pondering life, the universe, and our place in it.
Very interesting non-fiction about a Navajo Ranger and his experiences with the paranormal during his years working in the vast Navajo nation.
Just had to read this romantic suspense set in Jerome, Arizona. I've been there, and it was fun to revisit. Definitely some steamy sizzle between the two main characters, and an interesting plot.
This was just a heartbreaking read. Reading about Lisa Marie's life as told through her own words, and the experiences of her daughter Riley, was eye-opening. One of the best memoirs I've read.
I have been waiting months for this memoir, and gobbled it up was soon as I bought it! Ina's memoir is just as delightful as she is; there are many surprises revealed. You don't have to be a cook, or a fan of her show to be fascinated by the experience of working as a professional woman in the 1970's. Highly recommend!
I was thrilled to read a few memoirs, from two women whom I admire. I'm continuing my reading binge, and oh, it feels so good!
I'll keep updating my Goodreads account, so feel free to follow me there. I'll be back in November with more reads.
