Literature: September Books



Instead of writing individual reviews for all the books I have read, I am just going to condense them into what I have read each month.

At the beginning of 2019, I set myself the task on Goodreads to read 120 books this year, which means I need to read about 2 a week. Between January and August, I managed to read 108 books.  And in September I managed to read 7, which now brings me up to 115 which means I have only 5 more to read till I hit my target!

In July I listed the books my genre as I had read so man books, and have decided to do the same again.

Christian
7 Myths of Singleness by Sam Allberry

Science Fiction
Ark by Veronica Roth
Summer Frost by Black Crouch

Crime / Thriller
Beware of the Past by Joy Ellis
Five Bloody Hearts by Joy Ellis

Children
The Inca Trail by Vivien Whitfield
The Color of Bee Larkham’s Murder by Sarah J Harris

There is a new genre which has popped up this month – Science Fiction. I don’t normally read this genre as I don’t really like, but I came across a series called Forward Collection which has been described on Goodreads with the following:

“For some, it's the end of the world. For others, it's just the beginning. With brilliant imagination, today's most visionary writers point to where the future is headed-whether plotting a high-tech casino heist, exploring the boundaries of a video game, or debating the very definition of identity. From the darkly comic to the chilling, they share common DNA. They all look forward”

Ark & Summer Frost are the first two books in the series with the former focusing on the destruction of the Earth and the latter focuses on a game developer who gets obsessed with one of his characters who he brings to life.


They were both interesting reads and an introduction to the genre of Science Fiction. There are 7 more books in the collection, so will continue to read them to see what happens.
