My Monthly Wrap-Up: September 2025
September was a really great reading month. I enjoyed all of my 14 books that I read. It was really hard to choose favorites! My ARCs were especially good as were most of my audiobooks. There are a couple of rereads this month, but they too were just as good as I remembered.
Audiobook Review: Nonfiction Challenge #10
A brief review of the nonfiction book The CIA Book CLub: The Secret Mission to WIn the Cold War with Forbidden Literature by Charlie English. This interesting and well researched book looks at how banned books and other literature were an important part of the fall of the USSR.
Audiobook Review: Nonfiction Challenge #9
A review for the nonfiction book A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. A delightful account of the author’s trip along the 2,200 miles Appalachian Trail which he hiked in the mid nineties. HIs delightful descriptions of his time on the trail meeting interesting people and avoiding the dangers will keep you entertained.
My Monthly Wrap-Up: August 2025
This was quite the busy month for me. I had eight ARCs that I needed to read and that took quite a bit of time. Plus I had my challenge books to get done as well. Thank gods for audiobooks as they kept me sane this month.
2025 Nonfiction Challenge #8
A quick review for the very short but fascinating book TreeNotes by Nalini Nadkarni. These very short little vignettes are all about the trees and how they touch human lives.
