Reading Roundup - a reference list of the 16 books reviewed in September
Looking for something different to read? We read some great books in September; check it out below to see if there's something just begging to be added to your TBR.
This month's Buddy Reads include Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder and Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise. Surprisingly, neither of us had ever read Little House, and we felt it was high time to right that wrong. Especially if you're a foodie, you can't pass up Garlic and Sapphires, but even if you're not, this is a book worth your time.
