I read 34 books in September, so many amazing books as I was working through the Caudill nominees on audio and some fun graphic novels as well. My standouts were:
Wash Day Diaries
Batter Royale
The Consumption of Magic
Legends and Lattes
A Thousand Questions
Fighting Words
Hope I have just as great a month in October!
pickI have complicated feelings about this book. Nic Stone does a fantastic job of showing the why behind black men looking for non-traditional families. What I struggle with is the amount of aid Quan receives while in juvie (she mentions this in the afterword): psychiatrist, teacher, etc. These are not usually options, especially when in an adult prison which is where too many teenage black men end up. Still, it is a story of hope against all odds.
pickWhat a great duology! In a lot of ways I related to this one more than Dear Martin, which made the things about it that seemed unrealistic more glaring, so I was glad when the author decided to address those things in her afterward and touch on why she made those choices. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
pickA strong sequel following a character from the first book who had much less support, and yet this book too is hopeful, full of lovable characters, and even more than the first imagines a better world. If there's ever a surprise book #3, I'm reading it too! #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville #Audiobook
For most of #SuperSeptember I will be visiting family so won‘t have a lot of dedicated reading time. I am only packing 2 physical books but taking a fully loaded kindle and audio library just in case. All but The Night Always Comes are for buddy reads, etc.
Love this laid back readathon hosted by @Andrew65 What will you be reading?
