Can it *really* be the end of September? (Well, yes, the weather indicates so.... 😑) Anyway, on the blog today, my thoughts on the month's reading - it was an interesting and varied one! Plus plans for next month... 😉 kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2024/09/30/sep…

Just a quick reminder on #InternationalTranslationDay2024 that at Corylus Books we publish translated crime fiction exclusively and enjoy working with our translators very much indeed (except for myself - I hate editing myself!)

Here's what I read in September. Not the best month numerically, but I did read some good books. Included are a dnf on Kindle and half of Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood also on Kindle. (I'm not blogging atm but trying to engage bookish types here from time to time).
