Despite a slow start to the #20BooksofSummer reading challenge, I cruised over the September 1 finish line (21.5 books read and three audios).
My selections were a mix of fiction and nonfiction (including a biography and some memoirs).
Two books that I really enjoyed (and perhaps it was a case of right book at the right time) were Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke and I Love the Whole World! by Victoria Hannan. I’ve since pushed both onto friends 🙂
There were a couple in the mix that I’ll be thinking about for a while – Air by Christian Kracht (because it was a mad ride) and Death of an Ordinary Man by Sarah Perry (because it had all the ingredients for I book that I ought to have loved but was one that I found problematic for many reasons).
The two absolute standouts were London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe and John of John by Douglas Stuart – both will be in my favourites at the end of the year.
