Welcome to my September 2025 Wrap-Up!
This month, I listened to 6 audiobooks. While it’s not as many as I can usually read, it’s been a challenging month given the death of my Dad. Some of these have already been reviewed, while others have reviews scheduled to post a little later. A few titles were actually read in previous months, but I held off on sharing my thoughts until closer to their official publication dates. The rest of the stats below reflect the book reviews I published on That Happy Reader throughout September.

Looks like at least the books were pretty good. It’s rough to try to get any reading in when life is so much to deal with sometimes. Here’s hoping October is a little nicer to your time to read. I know losing a parent continues to hit though, even when you know they might no longer be suffering.

Thanks Lisa. It’s definitely a challenge to stay focused at times.
