thepowerofdeathI didn't think I'd read much in September, due to a combination of being sick and because The Priory Of The Orange Tree was such a big book, but it turned out I read 12 books again (4718 pages)
The books I read this month are: The Handbook Of British Archaeology by Roy A. Adkins & Victoria Leitch; The Wild Silence by Raynor Winn; The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune; A Practical Handbook of Archaeology by Christopher Catling; The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna; Landlines by Raynor Winn; Chariots of the Gods? by Erich Von Daniken; The Gods Never Left Us by Erich Von Daniken; The Agricultural Revolution in Prehistory: Why Did Foragers Become Farmers? by Graeme Barker; Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman; The Priory Of The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon; and First Farmers: The Origins of Agricultural Societies by Peter Bellwood
My book of the month was either The Very Secret Society Of Irregular Witches of Chariots of the Gods
The top 'moods' of the books I read were 'emotional' and 'reflective'.
64% of them were medium paced, with 27% slow and again only 9% fast paced - do I not like fast paced books?
42% of the books were under 300 pages, 33% were 300-499 pages and 25% of them over 500 pages long
For the second month running, 67% of my read was non-fiction, and only 33% fiction which I find interesting.
My most read genres were again fantasy and history, which is still not a surprise, followed by nature, lgbtqia+ and memoir
I tag the books that I get from the library or through the Libby app, and this month 5 of the books I read (that's 41%) were library loans. I haven't been leaving the house much over the last weeks so it makes sense there were less library books.
Format wise, it was a complete switch from last month with 58% being print and 42% digital
And my average rating was 4.05, with my lowest rating being 3.0 and my highest being 4.5, and it's nice to see that even as I'm continuing to explore different genres and types of book, I still know what I like!
I'm looking forward to seeing where my October reading takes me
