September Re-Cap

I'm a little late posting this, but I've been trying to catch up with stuff since I got back from my mini vacay.  Unfortunately, my flooded basement has also put a damper on my catching up. Otherwise, it's been a fairly good month...the start of Halloween Bingo and 12 books total finished for the month.  Stand-out read for the month would have to be The Grace Year...by far and wide.

12 Books Total, 9 of which were Audiobooks, and 2 Kindle eBooks plus 1 very good Netgalley eARC (I've been more discerning of the books I request and lately it's really paid off).  With only 1 DNF, Lost Girl by Chanda Hahn...and it has such a pretty cover too...

Best Cover for the month of September goes to

It's a tie between these two...
