A partial pile of possibilities for #SummerEndReadathon. All but one of these work for #ShortySeptember, a few will be double dippers with #ReadingtheAmericas2023. This doesn‘t count all the library books I want to get to. September promises to be a busy month.

There wasn‘t much of a plot and the characters were flat. Not a winner for #shortyseptember22 #shortyseptember
