The Books of September
Here we are! The books of September!
Most of the best books I read this month were LGBT historical Romances (with boinking), so take that into consideration.
Non-boinking-wise, I’m still re-reading the Brother Cadfael series, which I truly love and highly recommend, and I finally finished listening to the Raven Boys series, which I also love and highly recommend.

No paper this month, and fewer audio books, as I spent far less time in the kitchen.
eBook: 15
Audio: 2
Multiple Formats: 5
Re-read: 6
Genere-wise, not much fantasy this month, and heavy on the romance, mostly because I can’t stomach anything depressing or too dark right now. With romance, at least I know I’ll get a HEA.
Fantasy: 3
Mystery: 5
Romance: 12
YA: 1
Simon R. Green was the only male author I read this month, but I read as many books where the author was hiding behind a male pseudonym or initials as I did by authors with straight-up female names. Take that as you will.
Male: 1
Female: 8
Initials: 6
Male Pseudonym: 2
And that’s the month of September in books!
