What I Read in September
What with settling in to our new home, plus a trip to Missouri, I didn’t fit in as much reading as I usually do this past month. But, as always, I did read a few books.
My star ratings are according to GoodReads definitions:
- Did not like it
- It was ok
- Liked it
- Really liked it
- It was amazing

Review Books
The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady by Sharon J. Mondragon
Cozy read for fall or winter. Check out my review.
Fiction
Eden by Brennan S. McPherson
“Biblical Fiction of the World’s First Family.” I enjoy Biblical fiction if it stays true to scripture and helps me understand the Bible better. This one, about Adam and Eve and their sons, did that.
Flood by Brenna S. McPherson
The second book in The Fall of Man Series, about Noah and his family, was more of a stretch for me, but I still give it 4.5 stars.
The Longest Day by Terry Toler
This book was so disappointing for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the first half, but sadly it went downhill from there. I think it was trying to be a mash-up of sci-fi and Biblical fiction, and while the sci-fi part was okay, the Biblical fiction part was weird to me.
Stealth Power by Vikki Kestell
Book 2 of Nanostealth, a Christian sci-fi series.
Non-fiction
Unquestioned Answers by Jeff Myers
The subtitle is “Rethinking Ten Christian Cliches to Rediscover Biblical Truths.” I highly recommend this one, especially if you’ve ever found yourself (like I have) scratching your head over trite platitudes that often pop up in Christian circles.
Juvenile Fiction
Nate the Great Saves the King of Sweden by Marjorie Weinman Sharmot
Super cute “detective” story for emerging readers.
Audiobooks
The Case of the Red Rubber Ball by John R. Erickson
This was the last of the audiobooks on our moving trip.
Grace Space by Robin Merrill
If you’ve ever been involved in, or known someone involved in, a multi-level marketing program you’ll get a kick out of this story.

I’ve gotten back into reading. However, I only read shoujo manga. But reading is reading!

You’re right! Reading is reading!

Aww! Nate the Great! My kids used the love that series. So this is considered NOT many books for a month? Wow! I think it is an impressive amount for sure! I want to look into that Jeff Myers book now . . .

I will have to check out Stealth Power by Vikki Kestell and the first book in the series. I like Sci-Fi so putting it with Christian fiction is great for me. Thank you!
