Happy September!
There's something wonderful about the month of September. The air is cooler, the heat and humidity of summer have finally gone away, and it's the start of the school year (which, for me, has always seemed like more a start to a new year than January).
September is one of my favourite months of the year, so I'm very happy to bring you my TBR list for the month:
Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar - Daniel B. Klein
The Island - Alistair MacLeod -

Like the rest of the world (I imagine), I've been captivated by the release of Hamilton on Disney+, and that's reflected in this month's reading list. So without further ado, here are the two books I've chosen to read this month:
"Alexander Hamilton" - Ron Chernow
"Gmorning/Gnight!: Little Pep Talks For Me & You" - Lin-Manuel Miranda -

Happy July, everyone!
It only took me seven months, but I'm finally on time with my Reading List post! (well, mostly, considering yesterday was Canada Day and I took the day off from writing work).
I made some good progress on my Goodreads Challenge last month and am now only two books behind schedule, which I'm hoping to catch up on this month.
I added in a third book last month that I didn't plan on reading which I thought I would just mention quickly before I get to my July Reading List. After finishing the two Diana Gabaldon short stories, I also read the first book in Mike Wells' "Lust, Money & Murder" series. I wasn't a massive fan of it. It was a quick read and the plot (mostly) moved along, but I felt that the majority of the book could have been condensed into a few chapters, and the whole series could probably have been condensed into one really interesting book. However, if you're interested in the crime thriller genre, you might give it a try.
This month, I'm going back to my classics roots and reading both Madeline Miller books: "The Song of Achilles" and "Circe." I don't often see good historical fiction books set in Ancient Greece or Rome, so I'm really excited for these two. -

Still a bit behind schedule this month (I think I'm getting worse at posting these things on time, instead of better, for which I apologize).
I'm still in catch-up mode with my reading list, so I'm only adding two new short stories this month:
A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows by Diana Gabaldon
(It was nice to read some of the spin-offs from the main Outlander series, especially the short stories as they enhance the main story I love so well, but are quick reads)
The Space Between by Diana Gabaldon
(It's been nice to dive into Diana's work again. The world she creates with the main Outlander series is so rich and detailed, even in her short stories. I'm really enjoying reading these side stories while I wait for Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone).
