September 2020 Wrap-Up

Hello everyone! 🙂 I can’t believe it’s October already, which means it is time for another monthly wrap up.

This month was a very poor reading month for me. I started work again after being in isolation for 6 months, which meant my full attention went into settling back in to a work routine and trying to gain some sort of normality back into my life.

September resulted in me reading 1 book completely, and still currently reading another. I was either too tired to read after work, or being too busy around work shifts. I understand that this is just life and that the number of books you read is not important. Here are the two books I have read/been reading in September…

1. Philip Pullman, Northern Lights, ★★★★

“When Lyra’s friend Roger disappears, she and her dæmon, Pantalaimon, determine to find him. The ensuing quest leads them to the bleak splendour of the North, where armoured bears rule the ice and witch-queens fly through the frozen skies – and where a team of scientists is conducting experiments too horrible to be spoken about. Lyra overcomes these strange terrors, only to find something yet more perilous waiting for her – something with consequences which may even reach beyond the Northern Lights…” (Goodreads)

2. Sylvia Plath, Letter’s of Sylvia Plath Volume I: 1940-1956, (CURRENTLY READING)

“Sylvia Plath’s renown as one of the twentieth century’s most influential poets is beyond dispute, but she was also one of its most captivating correspondents. This remarkable, collected edition of Plath’s letters is a work of immense scholarship and care, presenting a comprehensive and historically accurate text of the known and extant letters that she wrote to over one hundred and twenty correspondents, including her husband the poet Ted Hughes, to whom previously unseen letters are now revealed. The edition reproduces previously unknown photographs, and a gathering of Plath’s own elegant line drawings taken from the letters she sent to her friends and family, offering the reader generous insight into the life of one of our most significant poets.” (Goodreads)

I definitely want to read more books in October. How many books did you read this month, and which was your favourite? Happy Reading! 🙂
