The Books I Read - September 2024

Again, Critical Role cut down on a lot of my reading, especial audio books. The three books set in the inter-war period were interesting counter points and I have to say that Anna Lee Huber writes in a style I really enjoy. Garth Nix's Left-Handed book sellers was a lot of fun, a little more elegance in crafting the front half, but a good action novel in the second. As always Martha Wells' Murderbot is outstanding.
