So many Books; so little time!








I attempted to conquer a few books during the month of September. I managed to read a few of the books from my back list and read at least two new recently purchased books. 
My favorite read of the month was Fangirl by Rainbwo Rowell; I have it 5/5 stars on Goodreads. 
My least favorite read of the month was Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

Here is a brief synopsis of the book as found on Amazon.com: 

This is the story of two sisters—one a missionary in Africa and the other a child wife living in the South—who sustain their loyalty to and trust in each other across time, distance, and silence. Beautifully imagined and deeply compassionate, this classic novel of American literature is rich with passion, pain, inspiration, and an indomitable love of life.
