September/October Book Report

Newport, RI, October 2025

I'm not sure what happened to October, it was just starting and now I seem to have missed it! Since my last book report I finished 12 books.

A quote from this month's reading:

“I didn’t tell him that it was all stored as binary information on rapidly spinning shiny discs, partly because I’d have to look up the details myself, but mostly because by the time he’d understood the technology it would have been replaced by something else.” ― Ben Aaronovitch, Broken Homes

Here are the books I finished in September and October 2025: 

1. Ripped from the Pages by Kate Carlisle (4-stars)
2. Fair Play by Louise Hegarty (3-stars)
3. Broken Homes by Ben Aaronovitch (audiobook, 4-stars)
4. Steps to the Altar by Earlene Fowler (4-stars)
5. Seduction Theory  by Emily Adrian (3-stars)
6. Gallows Court by Martin Edwards (3-stars)
7. Books of a Feather by Kate Carlisle (3-stars)
8. Knave of Diamonds by Laurie R. King (4-stars)
9. Research Like a Pro: A Genealogist's Guide by Diana Elder and Nicole Dyer (3-stars)
10. Retreat Yourself by Joey Hulin (3-stars)
11. Sunshine and Shadow by Earlene Fowler (5-stars)
12. The Creative Tarot by Jessa Crispin (4-stars)

At this point it looks like I may not read as many books this year as usual. I am doing other stuff though, so am not going to worry about it. I'm going to read what appeals to me and see where I end up at years' end.
