Month in Review: September 2015

I didn’t read a whole lot this month because I was binge watching Nikita. Damn, that show is crack and luckily it was only 3 seasons and 6 episodes long. (I say it like that because the show got canceled during its 4th season, and 6 episodes hardly counts as a ‘season’.) This show was all-consuming.

I read 2 books this month: Nuts by Alice Clayton and The Customer is Not Always Right by A.J. Adams. I got 32% into True North by Liora Blake but it just wasn’t doing anything for me. I’m currently reading Reaper’s Fall by Joanna Wylde, and it’s crack-y just like I expected.

I also tried audiobooks again (when I found myself having Siri read my Kindle books to me) and I think I’m getting used to them. I listened to The Choice by Nicholas Sparks (didn’t like how the narrator voiced the heroine, but he was otherwise okay) and I’m currently listening to The Heist by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg. I like this narrator much better.

TOP PICKS:

» Falling Into Bed with a Duke by Lorraine Heath (4 ½ frogs) – J9 said: “Must read for historical romance fans.”

» Treble Maker by Annabeth Albert (5 frogs) – Crissy said: “There are so many reasons to fall in love with this story.”
