I only finished one book in September. It was a short book but I read it slowly. I used multiple book darts to mark sentences I loved and concepts that were interesting. The book is Walking Zero: Discovering Cosmic Space and Time Along The Prime Meridian by Chet Raymo. It is non-fiction book, the author walks along the Prime Meridian which is in England. He explores historical events and developments of science as he goes. It was a fascinating book that took all that I learned in school about longitude, Galileo, Darwin, the metric system , the Library at Alexandria, and so much more, and put it in a historical context and filled in so much detail. I really enjoyed it. It also added so many places to my long list of where I want to visit in England.
I also read some other books this month but haven’t yet finished them so they will go on next month’s list.
I read "Big Fan" by the same 831 Stories (also in one sitting) and LOVED it. Favorites of the month were Atmosphere by TJR and Everyone is Lying to You by Jo Piazza.
I’m in the middle of “The Hounding” and I think I like it. Atmospheric and a little gothic, it’s great for spooky season. It’s a really slow burn though, which has been hard to stay in on.
I listened to Everybody on This Train Is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson, a fun mystery read. I also read Mexican Gothic for my book club, and while I don’t think paranormal horror is my cup of tea, it was extremely well written and I enjoyed our discussion.
I also read a few ARCs for some great books coming out later this year or the first of next year. Perks of being a bookstore owner!
I didn't finish Broken Country either! (and then put it out of mind until I just read your post)
In September I did read Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, which made me cry and I never cry reading books. And I also read As Close to Us as Breathing by Elizabeth Poliner, which was oddly captivating and had me looking at a map of Connecticut for a REALLY long time.

I feel satisfied hearing you DNFd Broken Country. I really disliked that book.
SO melodramatic

Sexiest line in all of Austen? Maybe sexiest line in all of literature. ;)

I read Atmosphere earlier in the year and loved it! I HOWLED for the last few chapters. Great stuff!
I read lots of books with my kids in our homeschool-
The Giver (still love this book..so good),
Outsiders, (which I've actually never read before),
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,
Patient Zero: A Curious History of the World's Worst Diseases (excellent book for anyone who likes a science read that humerous and informative)
Shark Heart (I saw it recommended here, and I loved it!!)
The Otherwhere Post (excellent YA fantasy for anyone who needs a fun, easy read)
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida (not an easy read, so follow with easy YA fantasy)
