So overdue! We were on vacation for the first week of October, when I normally would have posted my September reads, and then when we got back, I had to dive right into the Sixteenth Annual FMS Scarelicious October Movie Series. Who has time to read books? I only got to a few in September, actually:
- An Incomplete Revenge by Jacqueline Winspear. Another Maisie Dobbs mystery wherein the intrepid sleuth investigates goings-on in rural England during the hop-picking season. I learned quite a lot about hops, but this wasn't one of my favorites.
- Among the Mad by Jacqueline Winspear. Book #6 in the Maisie Dobbs series. I did like this one, a lot, as Maisie and Scotland Yard try to catch a madman blowing people up across London as 1931 comes to a close.
- Skeleton Crew by Stephen King. It has been a while but I reread this short story collection in anticipation of the movie version of The Monkey coming out. He's so good at short stories and this collection has quite a few good ones.
- Mrs. March by Virginia Feito. The titular Mrs. March, an Upper East Side housewife, starts to become a bit unraveled when it appears that an unlikeable character in her author husband's new novel is based on her. I didn't love it but I appreciated the end - didn't see it coming.
- The Empire of Gold by S.A. Chakraborty. The final volume in the Daevabad trilogy. Djinn and ifrits and demigods all along the Nile.
Stay tuned soon for my October reads!
