Perfect. Weather, for courtyard book club! I hope the fall stays cool but doesn&#8217;t get cold too fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ross, against all warnings from Christiana, borrowed Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. She got halfway in before throwing in the towel. Ross, you said I read a wide variety of genres, but I can&#8217;t help but think in the last couple of years we have really taken you away from your memoirs and into a lot of different stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig with a lukewarm review. I&#8217;m so glad that you go to a chance to read, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and enjoyed it as much as I did. Shana, I think you will appreciate it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mariya also read The Midnight Library, and in between renovation projects also had time to read two others that sounded cute: Never Google Heartbreak by Emma Garcia and The Summer Job by Lizzy Dint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shana read Brenden Reichs&#8217; Nemesis and decided she could end the series there. She also read Island Affair by Priscilla Oliveras, and A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. I&#8217;m excited about starting that one next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hugh read my pick from last month, Later by Stephen King. Matt is borrowing it this month. Also, All I Did Was Shoot My Man by Walter Mosley, and Broken Dreams by Nick Quantrill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christiana read Ashley&#8217;s The Seventh Raven by David Elliot and 142 Ostriches by April Davilla. She also really enjoyed Ross&#8217; pick from last month, Every Exquisite Thing by Matthew Quick, another Dollar Tree winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read Billy Summers by Stephen King, The House of Vandekar by Evelyn Anthony, and Shana&#8217;s pick that I borrowed, The Cellar by Natasha Preston. My favorite this month was Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz. I&#8217;m looking forward to hearing what Mariya thinks of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashley read Roses and Rot by Kat Howard. Also, Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, which sounded really creepy and awesome! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m already looking forward to next month to hear what everyone picks up. I thought of Ross today at the Dollar Tree and had to pick up a book there in her honor. Maybe we should have a &#8220;pick a book from the Dollar Tree&#8221; theme one month! Hope everyone has a great September. See you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The. Perfect. Weather, for courtyard book club!
