September Reading Roundup

Hello October!  Yesterday we drove to a park where Loki likes to walk and saw the parking was roped off to a small area.  The National Guard was set up, available to give people ready made meals and tarps.  It was astonishing to see the number of vehicles coming through to pick something up. What a horrible path of devastation this storm left. I am hoping, as are we all, the rest of the hurricane season is quieter.

We lost water for a bit and are still using bottled water for cooking, brushing our teeth, etc.  Water is back and we have a boil notice but that's just a minor inconvenience.


September reading was quite varied in location and genres. I  did not have a DNF this time :-)  Thanks to hurricane Helene I finished two books in record time.  This knocks out four books I had listed for my fall reading.

📚📚   Books read  📚








September book travel took me to Vermont, Maine, New York, Long Island, Ireland, England and Ibiza.

 That's it for the September round up.   Looking forward to more good reading in October. I'd love to know what books you favored this month.  Hope life is good for you all :-)

    Good job with your reading! My reading has been almost nonexistent this year, which has only happened to me once before. I've only read 2 books. I'm hoping I snap out of it before '25.

      Vicki, sometimes I get in a slump and it takes "that book" to get me going. Hope you find yppur reading mojo soon. Thanks for following me on Instagram! I am starting over there.

    Glad you all have water back. Hopefully the boil notice won't last too much longer. My husband's uncle is still without water, but hopeful for it this weekend. Have a great weekend!

      Cindy, we have gotten back to getting water from our faucets, the boil notice is gone. Thankfully. Hope the uncle gets his back soon!

    I wouldn't even know what to DO if I was under a boil water notice. Is that really all you do? Just boil the water and then it's ok to use?

    I'm glad your water is BACK and that you were able to get some good books read at least!

      Jinjer, I read quite a bit! Yes, you boil the water for drinking and cooking, cool it obviously. But we went and bought bottled water for brushing our teeth, making coffee, drinking. A real pain but we have it better than many others who had some real damage.

      Hating on Florida living now with a new tropical storm in the gulf!
