One of my favorite reads in September was Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. A fantasy book with a few ale lead, fantastic world building, and a little bit of a love story. Read in print or digital because there are some fantastic illustrations.
The best book I read was The Bee Sting and the best one I re-read was Rebecca (thanks to Novel Pairings and reading it - finally! - through the eyes of an unreliable narrator)! Also, loved the Beth Nguyen article; memoir is my favorite kind of non-fiction and it works best for me when the author has the perspective of years to give meaning to the events they're sharing (I'm going to be re-reading Crying in H Mart next month for a bookclub and will be paying attention to that) - thank you for sharing!
My best book of September was Wallace Stegner's Crossing to Safety, which had lingered on my TBR for years (since the early days of WSIRN when Anne couldn't stop mentioning it!). I even got my parents to read it and we've had some great family book club discussions about it.
