September Reading Wrap Up

This was an absolutely fascinating read, like genuinely one of my favorite non-fiction books I've ever read.

Bartleby the Scrivener I thought was fantastic. The Lightning-Rod Man was really interesting. The Piazza I got a lot less out of, but in general this was a really interesting read.

Then the next Poirot we read was Cat Among the Pigeons, which was my favorite of the three and I thought was really, really good actually.

Again, I feel like this was an interesting Poirot novel and I always enjoy Ariadne Oliver as a side character. But I feel like the solution was like a little bit contrived.

I would highly recommend this series, but I would recommend starting with book one Death and the Conjurer.

I thought this was a really thematically interesting novel and also a very like linguistically interesting novel as a word experiment but I do feel that because most of the focus is on the sort of word experiment the characterization is very flat

Thought this was a really, really interesting Poirot, like very historically interesting, capturing a certain point in time. Quite interestingly, but I found the ending not that satisfying

Very interesting read, so compelling, so atmospheric. I would highly recommend this series, but I would recommend starting with book one Death and the Conjurer.

At the heart of this novel is Libertie's relationship with her mother, which is quite strange and I found that really interesting. I thought it was very well developed.

Really powerful, interesting, twisty thriller. The twists and turns were great.

This was a really, really fascinating read, really fantastic novel.

I then read a novel that features Raffles, Mr. Justice Raffles, which I enjoyed a lot, lot less. this was not great.

I also think the relationship between Bunny and Raffles is really interesting. It's very, very homoerotic, and I found that element a really interesting part of the short story collection, and overall I enjoyed this.

As well as having quite a few like horror elements, it is very entertaining as well, and I really enjoyed this.

This is a book I've been meaning to read for ages and this was fantastic. So good.

I thought this was a really intriguing, creepy read, definitely one I'd recommend.

I thought this book was very well done and it is exceptionally distressing in places. I think that's worth being aware of and like there are some bits in it that are very horrible to read. It gets very dark, but it is a very interesting book and I think the characterization was great

I would say that I really liked it, but I didn't love it.
