*My wife continues to buy 1-2 books a week from our local independent bookstore and will do until they are able to fully open again post-covid. I expect this to skew my PTBR list all year long, but its for a good cause.
September was a horrible reading month for me. We closed on the house, took possession, spent a frantic few days painting, and then moved in at the end of the month. Hope to get back on track, but i can see that I might not hit some of my goals.
