SEPTEMBER 2023 - Reading Wrap-Up

Hi, everyone!

I hope you all have had a great September and have read lots and lots of very good books!!

So now I have EIGHT books vying for MY Best Book of 2023:

• The Wind Knows My Name by Isabel Allende (May)
• Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See (June)
• How to Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair (July)
• A Council of Dolls by Mona Susan Power (August)
• The Invisible Hour by Alice Hoffman (August)
• Evergreen (Japantown Mystery #2) by Naomi Hirahara (August)
• The Women by Kristin Hannah (September)
• After Annie by Anna Quindlen (September)

It will be so very interesting which book I decide on as MY Best Book of 2023! I think that I know which one it is, but you will have to wait patiently to find out!!

I hope that the quality of books in October continues to be good for me! I have had at least one 5.0-star book every month since I restarted this blog in May 2023 so that is quite the run!
