Comments for September in Review

September in Review: 09/30/09

I am enjoying my new semi-willy-nilly approach to reading and reviewing. The randomization of the reading selection and of the order in which I post reviews continues to offer a good mix of genres.

There were too many delightful books to pick a favorite. The only disappointments were Secrets Unveiled and "A Token of a Better Age."
