The goal was to read one nonfiction book for every fiction book. It resulted in a pretty slow reading month, since I was trying to finish nonfiction and not starting new fiction. Turns out I don\u2019t love reading nonfiction. So I ended up only finishing one. But hey, I tried. And I will continue to try and read more nonfiction, since I think it\u2019s important to keep learning, but a one-to-one ratio was probably ambitious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorites:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Death in the Stacks (Library Lover\u2019s Mystery #8) <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Jenn McKinlay- <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I always love these books because they\u2019re about a librarian who solves crime. I don\u2019t solve crime, but I am a librarian. Jenn McKinlay is one of my favorite cozy mystery authors and she delivered another good one here.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walt Disney: An American Original <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Bob Thomas- Disney has always been a big part of my life and learning more about the man behind the mouse was fascinating. This book was written only a decade after Walt\u2019s death, which made it more interesting to me than if it had been written more recently. By the end I was in tears at the thought of all he accomplished and the profound effect he had on the world of entertainment and the millions of people his work touched.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>September reads:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vanilla Beaned (Cupcake Bakery Mystery, #8) by Jenn McKinlay<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caramel Crush (Cupcake Bakery Mystery #9) by Jenn McKinlay<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bethlehem.sparkpa.org\/eg\/opac\/record\/7349918?locg=431\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Death in the Stacks (Library Lover\u2019s Mystery #8)<\/span><\/a> <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\/480273?locg=431\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walt Disney: An American Original<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Bob Thomas<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Books read this month: 4 Books read so far this year: 94 I set myself a goal for September, a goal which I almost decide to conveniently forget to mention, since I failed to complete it.
