September '25 Books

 Eight books read this month.

The Unraveling of Julia is by Lisa Scottoline one of my favorite authors. (Think of her Rizzoli and Isles series.) This novel is about a young widow from America who inherits a Tuscan villa and vineyard in Italy. It is a psychological thriller with many twists.

The Fate Of The Day: The War for America, Fort Ticonderoga to Charleston, 1777 to 1780 by Rick Atkinson is volume two of The Revolution Trilogy. I love history. I enjoy reading about the American Revolution and this book covered many battles I had never heard of. Interesting, but I could not make myself read the entire book. The author described each battle in extreme detail. I did not need all the minutiae to get the idea. I finally gave up.

The Perfect Marriage and Home Is Where The Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose are the other two books the library has by this author. I read the other one in April. 

Seeing Red and Tailspin are two more of the Sandra Brown books I've been reading my way through. 

The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert is my favorite read of the month. Spanning much of the 18th and 19th centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the Whittakers - a family of botanical explorers. The daughter, Alma, becomes a brilliant and insatiable botanist driven by an unquenchable sense of wonder. I've already put Gilbert's newest book on my list to read.

The Burning by Linda Castillo is the first book of her's that I've read. I see that the library has a number of her books. I may or may not read any more of them.
