What I read 📚📱🎧 in September 2019 with star ratings (out of five).

For the month of September I participated in the #readwhatyouown challenge. It was meant to encourage you to finally read those books that have been sitting too long on your shelves! I'm happy to say that 8 of these 12 (12!!!!) books met the challenge! The other 4 books were library books 😁. What was your favorite read this month?

⁣1. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins 🎧 - Glorious prose, layered and interesting story, breathtaking narration by the author.

2. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matilda by Roald Dahl 📚 - I love little Matilda and her book loving heart.

3. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston 📚 - Modern, romantic, sexy as hell, and wonderful revisionist history. LOVED.

4. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman 📱- An enjoyable journey to forgiveness and openness.

5. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Dream About Lightning Bugs: A Life of Music and Cheap Lessons by Ben Folds 🎧 - A funny, irreverent, and honest memoir.

6. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Colour of Bee Larkham’s Murder by Sarah J. Harris 📚 - A unique and twisty murder mystery, but way too long.

10. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Frankly in Love by David Yoon 🎧 - Messy and honest and charming and sad and smart and hilarious and just so many things! I loved this book!

11. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 84 Charing Cross Road / The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street by Helene Hanff 📚 - A charming delight. A must read for book and/or London lovers.

12. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg 📚 - A magical, comfort re-read for me. One of my childhood favorites.
