Books I Read in September.

October 2, 2017 By Talya Tate Boerner

The books I read in September

10 Ways to Celebrate Book Lovers Day
Today is Book Lovers Day. There’s no way I can let such a day pass without proper celebration. If I think back over my life so far, books have been a constant source of entertainment and comfort. Reduce me down to my own common denominator, and you’d find I’m made of Delta soil, iced tea, and books. Probably.

I’m not sure how August 9 officially became Book Lovers Day, but here it is tightly wedged between Zucchini Day (yesterday) and Presidential Joke Day (tomorrow.) Not kidding. How best to celebrate Book Lovers Day? I have 10 ways. Choose one or two and tomorrow might turn out brighter than we expect it to be.Continue Reading
