Well, when I left off at the end of August I had hardly read anything at all.  Something happened though as September rolled around.

I started reading again.  Seriously reading.  As in I read 5 books by September 2.  Once again romance novels paved the way out of a reading slump.

I read 18 books in September.

 

The books I read were:

  • All fiction
  •  0 finished audiobooks – I kept starting and abandoning them.
  • Set in the U.S., England,  and Haiti

What were my favorites?

These two were some of the best plotted romance novels I think I’ve ever read.  They both have twists in them that kept the romance formula from getting routine.  I love both authors from other works and these books reminded me of why.
