RIP 2009 - 2023
September was a horrible month as I lost my faithful and loyal companion, Buddy. He has been with me since he was nine weeks old and last week I had to say goodbye. One of the hardest things I have ever done. He has sat at my feet for every book that I have read and every review that I have written. The house feels very empty and there is a huge Buddy shaped hole in my heart right now.
Hard as it is, life moves forward. Here are the books that I read during September.
