Welp. It’s fall. At least it’s feeling like fall, temperature-wise.

I had a LOT of re-reads this month, but I did read some new-to-me books as well, some of which were very good.

What did I especially like this month?

Spooky Business by S.E. Harmon which is the latest entry in The Spectral Files. (And perhaps the last book?)

I read two books by Alexis Hall: Boyfriend Material and Waiting for the Flood and now I believe I need to go and read everything he has written.

Also excellent was Galaxies and Oceans by N.R. Walker which was more angsty than I’d come to expect from her, but also went all kinds of places I wasn’t expecting, keeping me turning pages when I should have been going to sleep. But it was worth it.

Then there was Better Than People by Roan Parrish which was LESS angsty than I’d come to expect from her, and was full of pets. Adorable!
