September was a month filled with breaks in our routine. We got new phones. I took a vacation from work. We binged a lot of Love Island Australia. We did quite a few house projects. All that to say, I wasn’t super focused on reading this month. Even six months into our new home, we’re still unpacking, organizing, and settling into the new space. The house is decorated for Halloween and I hope to read more as the daylight wanes and temperatures cool.
