September Reads, 2009

I set aside a few books this month.  It was me and not the books.  I was just in a kind of funk, I think.  I’m not sure why I dumped any of the books I left unfinished this month.  Maybe I’ll go back and try them again. 

Even the latest Nora Roberts didn’t jerk me out of it.  I ended up doing a lot of skimming through Black Hills.  Maybe Ms. Roberts needs to cut down on quantity and get back to quality, because her last few books haven’t been all that great. 

Despite all of this, I got quite a lot read this month.
