September Reading Wrap-Up

 


This is the view I have when I look out my front living room window.  We had some strong winds yesterday day so I think many of those leaves have fallen to the ground.  Some years the entire tree is bright orange before any leaves fall.  

During the month of September I read 10 books.  Here are the genres I read from:

Mystery/Cozy Mystery:  4
Romance: 1
Contemporary Christian Fiction: 1
Non-fiction: 2
Classic: 1
Suspense: 1

Mystery/Cozy Mystery:

Missing Pages (Secrets of Mary's Bookshop #8) by Vera Dodge - A young girl goes missing during a Fourth of July parade.  

The Pomeranian Always Barks Twice (Furever Pets Mystery #1) by Alex Erickson - This was a new to me author.  The owner of a Pomeranian is found murdered.  The main suspect is the son of our heroine.  
 
The Murder on the Links by Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot receives a letter urging him to come quickly.  He and Hastings make their way to France, but arrive too late.  The author of the letter has been murdered.

Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind by Ann B. Ross - This has been on my virtual TBR for quite a while.  Miss Julia has recently lost her husband when trouble arrives on her door step.  This was a fun, fast-paced read. Review coming soon.

 Romance:

Wishes by Jude Deveraux - This is not normally a genre I read from, but when my sister told me this was her favorite book I decided to give it a try.  I enjoyed it more than I expected to.

Contemporary Christian Fiction:

Cape Light by Thomas Kinkade - This is the first book in a series that Kinkade wrote to answer the question, "Who lives in the houses you paint?".  A story of the people who live in the town of Cape Light. Also on my TBR for a while.

Non-Fiction:

The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio by Terry Ryan - A biography about the author's mother who helped support her family by entering and winning jingle contests.

The Children of Henry VIII by John Guy - Tells the story of Henry VIII's quest for a male heir.

Classic: 

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde - A story of the destruction of a soul.

Suspense: 

Code of Valor by Lynette Eason - Brady St. John is spending some time alone at a friend's cabin when he hears a scream from the lake.  He is soon in the water rescuing a woman who jumped from a boat.  Now the question is who took her and why? Review coming soon.


September sure flew by.  Now we have just three months left of the year!  I will be reading some things to finish up my challenges in the coming months, but I really don't have many categories left to fill.  

What did you read in September?
