September Summary

It has been a minute since I last blogged but I have kept the pages turning, not as much as I would like but still turning. As I look back on my reading, I see that I a bit of a mixed bag, new reads, rereads and more in a series. Just as I did for for summer, below is a short summary review (rating and what I liked or not) of the books I read in September.

New Books

• The God of the Woods by Liz Moore - Five stars. This book lives up to all of the hype, great characters and a surprise ending.

• Bellevue by Robin Robin Cook - Four starts. This was an ARC. Liked the historical aspects but did not like the supernatural.

• The Best Friends by Lucinda Berry - Three stars. The description was promising, lifelong friends face a crisis, mysterious death on a child at a sleepover. This book lost its way.

• The Wedding People by Alison Espach - Three stars. On the plus side, the main character is so funny with many LOL moments. However, this book just went on too long and the ending was predictable.

• Whisper Network by Chandler Baker - Three stars. "Me too" story set in the law department of a public company. Fell a little short on being realistic.

• One By One by Ruth Ware - Three stars. Great concept, corporate retreat participants get trapped in resort. However, there were things that happened that made no sense.

Rereads

• The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand - Five stars. I forgot how good this book is. I read this in anticipation of the Netflix series. If you are someone who expects the TV version to be like the book, you will be disappointed with the Netflix version.

• Firefly Lane by Elin Hilderbrand - Five stars. This is one of my favorite books of all time and I grow tired of it.

More in a Series

• The Reversal by Michael Connelly - Three stars. Third in the Mickey Haller Lincoln Lawyer series. Not my favorite in this series, the ending was horrible.

• Worst Case by James Patterson and Michael Ledwick. Five stars. Third in the Michael Bennett series and the best one so far.

That is a wrap for September. As you watch the leaves fall, keep turning those pages....
