We had a lot of overlap in books this past September, and both of us bit off a bit more than we could chew. But all in all, it was still a great month of reading!

Review: The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
“All you can do, Rosemary–all any of us can do–is work to be something positive instead. That is a choice that every sapient must make every day of their life. The universe is what we make of it. It’s up to you to decide what part you will play.” ~ Becky Chambers, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
Review: Treason’s Shore
“I am old, but the word to me means familiar, comfortable. Accustomed after long and venerable use. Not dilapidated and useless.” ~ Sherwood Smith, Treason’s Shore

Review: My Year of Rest and Relaxation
“I took the garbage out into the hallway and threw it down the trash chute. Having a trash chute was one of my favorite things about my building.

I was connecting,” Ottessa Moshfegh.
