Wow! I can’t believe September has ended. Not a lot happened this month at least no more than the usual. I celebrated my birthday, however, it was low keyed given what is happening around us.

I hope you had a nice birthday, even if it was low key. You are killing your challenges, and I will eagerly await your thoughts on the Shalvis novella. I love her books.

Good to see that most of your reviews were positive, means you had an enjoyable reading month. Happy birthday.
I was fortunate to pick some wonderful books for September.
Same on the low-key birthday. Out oldest, the Royals Mom was exposed and now had some of the symptoms. She was tested Thursday and we have our fingers crossed. I am trying to get an arc of Mistletoe in Paradise for the HoHoHoRAT.
I am sorry to hear about your daughter’s exposure. I do hope her test result will be negative. Happy belated birthday.

Thanks Kate.
September was the same for me. Busy with regular stuff and very low key. Happy Belated Birthday! Way to go completing the New Release and Good Reads now to get those other two.
Have a great October, Nadene!
Thanks Sophia. Yes I need to get cracking on the other challenges, especially the audiobook challenge. I have a few audios lined up,, I just need to start listening.?

Great month in reading Nadene, Happy belated birthday. We had multiple health issues this month but hopefully all is well now.
I have too much stuff going on with Ken to have a lot of time to read right now. But my daughter decorated for Halloween.
Yes I saw your post regarding the decorations. It looks awesome. I understand not being able to do a lot of reading now. How is your husband doing and how are you coping?
He’s not doing really well but he’s mostly up beat and so we try to be too. We wanted to celebrate all the holidays we can with him while we still have him here with us. The doctor said he has 6-12 months so we are hoping to make Christmas a good one for him. I’m hanging in there as best as I can. Happy belated birthday.
I am sorry to hear. I will definitely keep you and your family in my prayers. I know it will be hard, but try and be strong and make most of the time you have with him. Sending hugs your way.

Happy belated birthday, and I sure understand about being low-key these days. That’s pretty good to read and review that many books in a month. It’s one thing to read them, but to then review them too? Awesome. Yay on the Christmas Jill Shalvis book. Haven’t heard of that one yet. Have a great week and stay safe! Hugs, RO
ooh HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING!! Yeah mine was in March and did hardly anything for it. Its hard to do much with so much closed down or restricted with everything going on. Hope it was a relaxing day for you.
Love that you enjoy challenges.
