Month in Review: September 2020

  

My reading streak continues as does my staying home, and I am certainly not complaining. I did manage to reign in my spending this month after going a little overboard last month, which was good. Now that fall is officially here and the cooler weather has made its appearance, I am ready for all the spooky reads and those heavier, more in-depth reads…I obviously have the time for them! Do your reading tastes change with the seasons?
