    Your comments about Somewhere Beyond the Sea are really intriguing. I just got that one last month at a TJ Klune event (boy that was something indeed... and yes... he is FIRED UP!) Anyway, hopefully I get to it sooner than later, but I'm afraid many things will keep pushing it down the line...

    Gotta love a sequel that's better than the first one! Sounds like you had a good month. I didn't love any of the books I read in September, but the one I liked best was Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati. Had higher hopes, but perhaps her second book Babylonia is better, I'm open to trying it! Let the deodorant people know they can send me that one. Thanks

    “not enough blood” 😬 i should beware lol. Your vibe with books is kinda different than mine, but I’m aiming to read a variety. I keep putting off Under the Whispering Door, maybe I’ll pick it up soon!

    This is an interesting range of books. So the different Klune vibe - darker? I'm still interested. I think my favorite September books were The History of Sound, My Friends, Convenience Store Woman and a reread of Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters.

    Sounds like a great reading month for you! And a fun play & movie, too. I review TV and movies on my blog (as well as books), so I should add that to my channel! I've never read Peyton Place, but I'd love to - it's become such an integral part of our culture. I loved Somewhere Beyond the Sea - listened to both on audio in August (they're fabulous on audio!!). Hope you enjoy your October reading, too.

    I totally agree that the second book of the Southern Reach trilogy is lackluster at best. Glad I'm not alone! Great wrap-up video!

    I just picked up Peyton Place and Return to Peyton Place at a used bookstore. Good to hear that you enjoyed it. I am also in the middle of the Southern Reach Trilogy. I have started Authority but it doesn't sound like it is very good. I have noticed it is slower than the first book but I'm going to give it chance seeing that you say the third book was better. My favorites from September were Watership Down by Richard Adams and God Help the Child by Toni Morrison.

    I'm really curious about the new Sunset Boulevard production...I've seen Sunset Boulevard twice (once in London with Betty Buckley and once "accidentally"--long story--on tour with Petula Clark) and let's just say it's not my favorite musical, but what I've seen of this new production has left me intrigued!

    How cool that you’ve read The Peyton Place sequel! I’m sorry that the Ursula K. LeGuin Earthsea series is turning out to be less than wonderful…That’s disappointing. T.J. Klune is definitely on my radar…All in all, though, it sounds like a very good month. 😊
