September 2023

 Books read this month:

• Cursed Bunny, by Bora Chung. One of the best books (short stories) this year.
• The Stars My Destination, by Alfred Bester. SIL's choice for family book club. Meh.
• The Ferryman, by Justin Cronin. Liked his book The Passage, great vampire book. This one completely different. Sci-fi, but you wouldn't know by the cover or even the jacket description. 
• The Prefect, by Alastair Reynolds. Continuing my chronological reading of his Revelation Space books/stories. This one was a re-read, but I didn't remember the ending until about 85% in, so that's good. 
• The Thursday Murder Club, by Richard Osman. Wife's choice for family book club. So fun. Want to watch this on Britbox.
• Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. My choice. Thought I'd try a Star Wars book. Read one years ago in Moscow (Bloodline, by Claudia Gray, which I remember liking). This one was okay. Pretty simple and obvious story. Probably won't read any more. Like Thrawn as a character. 

Books bought this month: 

• The Zone of Interest, by Martin Amis. I'll always buy an Amis (father or son) for $1.99.
• You'll Enjoy It When You Get There: The Stories of Elizabeth Taylor. Loved her Palfrey novel. Saw this on Twitter and had to get it.
• Fixing Your Feet: Injury Prevention and Treatment for Athletes, by John Vonhof, Tonya Olson. Needed this after the Rogaine last month. Will need it in the future.
• The Thursday Murder Club.
• Angel, by Elizabeth Taylor. Love this author. Again, only $1.99.
• A Savage War of Peace: Algeria 1954-1962, by Alistair Horne. Knew next to nothing about this war until I read On Leave by Daniel Anselme, which was a great read. Looking forward to reading this one.
