pickA young lesbian is cast out of her home when she is outed at college. Throughout this book we see this charismatic woman figure out how to make it on her own as she navigates financial and interpersonal challenges. I wouldn't say I enjoy classic literature, but ever now and then I do strive to read it. #LGBTQIA #ClassicLit

Definitely enjoying the cooler temperatures today.
📕I will finish the Matt Helm today. I picked it up at a FLL along with the James Bond books last week.
📘Handling Sin is my last #Roll100 for September and a bit of a struggle.
📗Loving my revisit to Brideshead for #HashtagBrigade and am reading far, far ahead of planned as a result.
pickOh, this was an absolutely fun psychological suspense to read! For anyone in the Celia Fremlin fan club, this has serious Fremlin vibes. @Cathythoughts @LeahBergen
A “lodger”, who is both a menace and a deluded idiot, is haunted by his own obsession. 😬
pick#roll100 LOVED this! My absolute favourite character in Greek mythology (I wore my dissertation on the portrayal of Medea through the ages), this was a really compassionate retelling of the many myths that surround the original scorned woman. Natalie Haynes has her retelling coming out later this month so I‘m really excited to compare the 2!

My first finished book of September, I finished this one for #FictionalTraveler #September #EnglishSpeaking & September #Roll100 #77 #AnyBOTM Overall, I enjoyed this one, although it drug in parts. The unique premise of an unmarried British woman who comes home after her friend‘s hen party to find she‘s married & her attic keeps “replacing” husbands with no end in site. Lauren made some choices I judged & thought over-the-top but ⬇️

Thanks @Bookworm54 for the tip to go the audio route. The narration/performance by Kyle McCarley was excellent!
I enjoyed this “Cinderfella” story only it‘s a half goblin emperor and there‘s not exactly a princess charming at the end. But it is ultimately a heartfelt and heartwarming fantasy. The reader can‘t help but root for Maia, the rejected son of the elf emperor who is unexpectedly thrust on the throne at 19.
