What I’ve Read – September 2021

Oct 1, 2021 | What I've Read

Welcome to October! It’s exciting for me as it’s my birthday in a couple of days. I wonder if I’ll get any new books to read…

Not much reading happened during September, although I did start a few books that will be finished in October.

I read The Bench by Megan, Duchess of Sussex. It was an alright book, I’m not sure why there are so many people against it, but I wouldn’t say it was amazing. It’s a lovely book to gift to new parents.

The other book I read was One-Night Stand by Simon Taylor. It was sent to me for review. It’s not the sort of book I would have usually picked up to read, but I did enjoy it.

I’m looking forward to finishing the books I started in September – Sass and Traz Save the Library by Michelle Worthington and The Adventures of Alphie Onion by Vivian French.

I hope September was a great month for reading for you.
