My goal for September is to read one nonfiction book for every fiction book. We\u2019ll see how that goes. I\u2019m a much bigger fan of fiction, but I\u2019m trying to expand my horizons. Also- I might hit 100 books in September! Depends on how much life is otherwise. Stay tuned. Regardless of when I finish, I\u2019ll keep blogging here for the rest of the year. And hopefully set a new goal for next year!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorites: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Leonard Goldberg- <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m a lifelong Holmes fan, and I liked this new take on the Holmes and Watson lines. The author stayed truth the character of Watson, and did a good job developing new characters as well. I look forward to reading the next book in the series as soon as I can get my hands on it.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Gabrielle Zevin- I chose this book on a whim, as I needed an e-book to read on my phone (in an attempt to waste less time on Instagram). I quickly became absorbed in the story, and found myself in happy\/sad tears by the end of book. This is a must read for anyone who believes in the power of the book and the importance of those who connect books to their readers.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Masterpiece <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Fiona Davis- <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of Davis\u2019 books connect a story from the past to one from the present. In this case, a woman living in 1970s New York who pieces together a decades old mystery from the 1920. I love the interconnecting of stories that take place half a century apart, and I especially liked the history surrounding the decay and revitalization campaign of Grand Central Station.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">series by Meg Cabot- You know me, I\u2019m a sucker for a light read. And these Cabot books composed of emails, texts, and notes are fun romantic-comedy-type books, and I wish there were more of them. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>August reads: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugar and Iced (Cupcake Bakery Mystery #6) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Jenn McKinlay<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><a href=\"http:\/\/bethlehem.sparkpa.org\/eg\/opac\/record\/7980017?locg=431\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Twinkle, with Love<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Sandhya Menon<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><a href=\"http:\/\/bethlehem.sparkpa.org\/eg\/opac\/record\/2242638?locg=431\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perfect Scoundrels (Heist Society #3)<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Ally Carter<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dark Chocolate Demise (Cupcake Bakery Mystery #7) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Jenn McKinlay<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bethlehem.sparkpa.org\/eg\/opac\/record\/5390062?locg=431\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No Nest for the Wicket (Meg Langslow #7)<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Donna Andrews<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bethlehem.sparkpa.org\/eg\/opac\/record\/7202397?locg=431\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes (The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes Mystery #1)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Leonard Goldberg<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bethlehem.sparkpa.org\/eg\/opac\/record\/5437313?locg=431\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Becky Albertalli<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bethlehem.sparkpa.org\/eg\/opac\/record\/5427405?locg=431\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Storied Life of A.
