August flew by. So it is TBR time once again. I ended up reading eleven books from the August TBR, things got shuffled around as some of the library books that I had got reserved by others and had to be read and returned. As usual, I have an equally ambitious list for September and they are below:

Some excellent books there! 20 books of summer is a very elastic concept, fortunately.
Thanks, Liz. I know, hence why I am pushing the boundaries somewhat! I do try to read all the good books.
The Bumblebee Flies away is a lovely glimpse to the summers and gardens of our pasts as well as an encouragement to the future.
Invisible Women is terrifying! Especially if you are a woman, highly recommend.
Plenty of other great books here.
Thanks, DJ
Eep, wrong name came up
