Septiembre 2025 I read 9 books

Only #DoubleSpin was finished.

Best book: Storyteller by Jodi Picoult

I can say that with the exception of September House, I enjoyed all the books read. But I‘m glad I read The September House because I like to have my own opinion in books that are in my physical tbr. They are there, with me, because I was excited to read them even if later it didn‘t work🤷🏽‍♀️

I'm pretty sure I've gushed about Ellen Gilchrist before on Litsy, so I won't now, except to say that I've never read anyone else who can show me characters this full and terrible and I still love them. They're real. There's no other way to say it.

While I haven't read a biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine, whatever kind of reader this is, I'm it.

900 hundred pages of Faulkner is a lot. This is the 1951 National Book Award winner, but I didn‘t think it was good sample of Faulkner‘s stuff. It doesn‘t show, in my opinion, how could he can be. But it does occasionally show how frustrating he can be. Unfortunately I was beaten down by this. My favorite stories are at the end (some of which are his earliest stories), but i was kind of worn out by that point.

dabbe I am majorly impressed. I barely got through AS I LAY DYING in AP English way back in the day, and I've never had the courage to try anything else--though “A Rose for Emily“ is one of my all-time favorite short stories. 🫂 1mo
Graywacke @dabbe A Rose for Emily is included and maybe the best story. Not sure. As I Lay Dying is fun outside of class. He‘s making fun of everyone in so many creative ways. I encourage you to revisit, school-free 😁 1mo
dabbe @Graywacke What would be the first one you'd recommend? All I remember from AS I LAY DYING was the chapter from Vardaman's POV: “My mother was a fish.“ 😳 1mo
Graywacke @dabbe well, that is the best line in the book! 🙂 I think The Unvanquished might be a good introduction. 1mo
dabbe @Graywacke It was indeed memorable! Thanks for the suggestion. 🙌🏻 1mo

You can always tell when the semester starts - reading takes a dip! 😁 They were good, though!

Had a great reading month (Well, every month that I read and listen to at least 1 is a great month :) ). Even though I don't really change my reading genre by season (as I'm already a thriller/horror fan), I saw this but - I have already gotten into other genres because of this community and book groups. I am still very much looking forward to October's reads!

Graywacke @Suet624 I‘ll be disappointed if Audition and Seascraper aren‘t on the shortlist. Flesh belongs too. But i‘ve liked literally every book. So i‘ll be forgiving @dabbe thanks! 4mo
Hanna-B Flesh was a marvellous confronting read, a lot of feelings arose 4mo
Graywacke @Hanna-B i was thinking about it (Flesh) constantly for days after i finished … trying to resolve stuff in my head. 4mo
Hanna-B I inhaled it. And know it‘s going to stick with me. A stark tale, unflinching and pragmatic with so many losses 4mo
