I’ve been reading #AnneTyler since my teens, off and on, and have never quite outgrown her, even if these days it’s often to humour my sister and have something to talk to her about. I’m several years late with this one. By the way, look at that gorgeous #font (Celeste, Chris Burke, 1994). #booksky

4✨ A rollercoaster ride. Deep-state vibes, a Supreme Court justice in a coma, and his legal clerk suddenly thrust into some high-stakes political chaos. She’s dodging operatives, unraveling secrets, & can’t trust anyone, especially not the government.

September Wrap-Up! I read a total of 34 books this month. I read a total of 13,928 pages. YOWZA!!! This is my best month EVER. I have to thank PRH Audio for pumping these stats the last two weeks. The amount of audiobooks that are available make this so easy to do. I have spent a lot of this month deconstructing, sorting, and re-organzing all of Ollie's legos.

My September Wrap-Up is insane!! I have never read this many books. It's all partly due to a huge project and audiobooks!
