September Book Report

September 2021

I finished 11 books last month.

A quote from this month's reading:

"But in order to pronounce a book bad it is not enough to discover that it elicits no good response from ourselves, for that might be our fault." 
 -- C. S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism

Here is my progress toward various goals and challenges:

• 6 books read in September were non-fiction and none were poetry (toward my goal of 10 non-fiction books and some poetry this year) 
• 2 were books I own but hadn't read before (#unreadshelfproject2021) 
• none counted toward the Turtle Recall Challenge
• none counted toward the Canadian Book Challenge 
• none were from my Classics Club List and none counted toward the Back to the Classics Challenge this month

Here are the books I finished in September 2021: 

1. The Best Year of Your Life by Debbie Ford (2-stars)
2. Secret Life of the Savoy and the D'Oyly Carte Family by Olivia Williams (4-stars)
3. The Self-Care Solution: A Year of Becoming Happier, Healthier, and Fitter, One Month at a Time by Jennifer Ashton (3-stars)
4. Right Ho, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse (3-stars)
5. Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown (4-stars)
   
6. An Experiment in Criticism by C. S. Lewis (4-stars)--this title met the #unreadshelf September challenge of a book I want to learn from
7. Died in the Wool by Ngaio Marsh (4-stars)
8. Willful Behaviour by Donna Leon (audiobook, 3-stars)
9. Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann (3-stars)
10. Death in Daylesford by Kerry Greenwood (4-stars)
    
11. Jack by Marilynne Robinson (4-stars)

I have 2 books in progress at the moment from my Classics Club list  and a couple more on deck for October (including a Canadian one). I also have a couple of books in my library pile right now that will meet the Turtle Recall challenge so there should be more progress during October toward completing those challenges.
