Reading Until Infinity discussion

September is a pretty busy month in many ways. There are many lesser-known holidays, in many countries school starts in September, the sesasons change,... While thinking about a topic for this month I looked up September on Wikipedia* and was so flabbergasted about all I learned I decided not go for a particular topic but give you a chance to explore for yourself and decide:
if you'd like to read a book with a classic/common link to September
or let you be inspired by the Wikipedia page (with its many links) and create a new connection and perhaps even a new tradition for your family.

I'm very curious which books you'll read and why. And don't forget: have fun :-D

* Since GR is no more allowing href links in posts I'm adding it the old (and ugly) way here :-( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September

The Henna Artist

The Red Address Book

Thank you for your books. Would you mind to tell us why you're reading them?

I have read both books. The Red Address Book tells about a life well lived and a love that did not fade even after fifty years apart.

The Henna Artist is about finding your place in life after falling from grace only to start at the beginning.

Thank you!

Gonna keep on trucking with my Currently Reading List: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

If Pumpkin Spice Peril ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... ) shows up at my library before the end of September, I'll add it to my list. If not, I'll add it in October... .

I'm reading now The Witness by Dee Henderson because it's set in the US and the three sisters had to deal with a lot of pain in their lives and September is Pain Awareness month in the US

I am reading The Stranger. It is an interesting read. The main character Meursault is very detach fron his experiences.

Follow this thread to my book review:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

We Were the Lucky Ones Jewish holidays and Rememberance of Holocaust

(book is on hold) The Forest of Vanishing Stars National Arbor Day, Forestry Day.

Pumpkin Spice Peril has arrived. Gonna start reading it today. My Currently Reading List has lost two items due to finishing reading them and will gain two. The other book it will gain will be On the Banks of Plum Creek.

Thank you, some very interesting books among those mentioned

I've read today Save the Date: A 9/11 Wedding Romance by K.M. Hodge 4* 9/5 - a nice romance though contains some graphic sexual content and a bunch of typos/incorrect words. Other than that it was great, partially a bit intense for my taste (but the short length balanced it out again). Additional bonus (a task sometimes difficult to find) it's set within 35 hours (starting 9/11 at 12:30 A.M.) so some mods would accept it for a book set in one day (only last chapter covers a short time span on a second day)

Since most of my books fit the European Day of Languages (English is neither my first nor second native tongue) I decided to see if they fit another one and it looks interesting how many I could tag with a second holiday.

So far I read this month:
Love Irresistibly by Julie James 4* 9/6 - World Car-Free Day (female MC chose her appartement by proximity to her workplace so she can walk each day, she even manges to convince the male MC to walk a few times with her)
The Single Staircase by Matt Ingwalson 3* 9/7 - Ask a Stupid Question Day (I didn't like the older detective's attidute in this case and how he pushed for one solution only and accordingly his questions were very partial, which is (in my opinion) a stupid thing for any law enforcement officer)
Stealing the Preacher by Karen Witemeyer 4* 9/10 - Father's Day (female MC had a very close relationship to her father) & World Car-Free Day (they didn't have cars yet *grins*)
Cut from the Same Cloth by Kathleen Baldwin 3* 9/12 - Military Intelligence Day/Heroes' Day (view spoiler)[male MC and female MC's brother work for Whitehall in some secret capacity tracking French spies in England, during the war (against Napoleon) they were stationed in continental Europe (hide spoiler)]
Forever Surprised by Kathleen Brooks 4* 9/12 - Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children (the town of Keeneston tries to organise a surprise one hundredth birthday party for the Rose sisters (triplets) - everyone's honorary grandmothers, which is rather difficult as they usually know everything that's going on in town)
Puzzle House by Lillian Duncan 4* 9/13 - Childhood Cancer Awareness Month/Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness Month (one of the MC's is a fifteen-year-old African-American girl named Nia with terminal cancer - Leukemia)

My current reads:
Called to Protect by Lynette Eason because of National Day of Awareness and Unity against Child Pornography (one of the main topics is sex trafficking, which is often going hand in hand with child pornography, plus the victims in this book are all minors)
Devotions from Puzzle House by Lillian Duncan because of Pain Awareness Month/various forms of Cancer Awerness Month (the author has to deal with a lot of pain in her life and wants help others in similar situations with this book)

You're welcome. On the Banks of Plum Creek is a reread.

As for the other replies added since my last post: Here is a link to my UPDATED Currently Reading List: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

The Mrs. Murphy Mystery book (Sour Puss) and the Isaac Asimov book A Short History of Biology are both temporarily on hold because they were overdue at the library and I returned them. It may be awhile before I am able to get them back again... .

Time for another update:

Called to Protect by Lynette Eason 5* 9/14 - National Day of Awareness and Unity against Child Pornography (one of the main topics is sex trafficking, which is often going hand in hand with child pornography, plus the victims in this book are all minors)
The Search by Nora Roberts 4* 9/19 - Emergency Services Day: female MC is trainer for Search and Rescue (S&R) dogs and a team leader of a S&R team; additionally she's trained to deal with emergency situations; in the story there're several S&Rs described
Witness in Death by J.D. Robb 5* 9/21 - White Balloon Day: female MC was severely traumatized by sexual abuse as child
Poison in Paddington by Samantha Silver 3* 9/23 - National Day of Encouragement: when her life felt apart the MC fell in a deep depression and needed encouragement to get back on her feet
Second Chances by Calle J. Brookes 4* 9/24 - naming the other holiday would be an spoiler in itself so I stick to the primary one European Day of Languages (English is neither my first nor second native tongue)
Conspiracy In Death by J.D. Robb 5* 9/26 - Better Breakfast Month & National Coffee Day: female MC is convinced the perfect breakfast consisted of a stack of pancakes drowned in syrup and a gallon of coffee
Faithless in Death by J.D. Robb 4* 9/28 - White Balloon Day & Celebrate Freedom Week: female MC was severely traumatized by sexual abuse as child and being held prisoner by her father; additionally in this book in series the second holiday had another implication in the case she's dealing with
Star of the East by Tasha Alexander 2* 9/29 - naming the other holiday would be an spoiler in itself so I stick to the primary one European Day of Languages (English is neither my first nor second native tongue)
Devotions from Puzzle House by Lillian Duncan 3* 9/29 - Pain Awareness Month/various forms of Cancer Awerness Month (the author has to deal with a lot of pain in her life and wants help others in similar situations with this book)
Letters from the Heart: A Pride and Prejudice Novella Variation by Rose Fairbanks 3* 9/29 - National Punctuation Day: because of the collon in the title :-D
Love In The Capitol by B. Ivy Woods 3* 9/30 - Air Force Day: male MC's an Air Force pilot

Current read (I hoped to finish this month but won't manage it in the remining four hours)
