Whoosh! Where did September go????

I don’t quite know what it is about September, but it always seems to whizz past; maybe because I’m always back to work after the summer break and so things are frantic, with a lot of catching up! Whatever it is, this month has flown by in a flurry of busyness, but I *have* managed to get quite a lot of reading done, and here is the evidence! As always, a list of the titles in case all is not clear from the picture: The Country of the Pointed First – Sarah Orne Jewett A Happy Death – Albert Camus My Friend Maigret – Simenon The House of the Dead – Dostoevsky Eat, Drink and Be Murdered – Various Tom Brown’s Body – Gladys Mitchell A Sand County Almanac – Aldo Leopold The Smiths: a novella – Michael Bracewell The Party at No. 5 – Shelley Smith A Train of Powder – Rebecca West An Island Rooing – John Grigsby It *has* been a mixed bag of a month; I started reading for October’s #1949Club and if I’m honest not every title has been successful, but I will share thoughts on them anyway in due…
