Books read in September

[glacier_kitty]

A dark academia book: The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (Sept 1-9). SO GOOOOD. I love unique books like that!

A book about a subject you are passionate about: Land of Wondrous Cold: The Race to Discover Antarctica and Unlock the Secrets of Its Ice by Gillen D'Arcy Wood (Sept 10-13)

A book with an oxymoron in the title: In the Waves: My Quest to Solve the Mystery of a Civil War Submarine by Rachel Lance (Sept 14-19). I saw this submarine (the Hunley) on an episode of Drain the Oceans..cool!

A book with a family tree: George VI by Sarah Bradford (Sept 19-30). Does he remind anyone else of Cherry??

He seemed like a really great guy, shy but nice and dignified, not to mention having a stutter and having to do public speeches all the time!! (You can see a couple on YouTube, it's hard watching him struggle through them!) Pretty inspirational! (These long 400-600+ page books are making my monthly reading stats look sad though LOL)
