September at SmallWorld Reads

If you are looking for something to read, I highly recommend Semicolon's Saturday Review of Books. Somewhere around 100 bloggers post their most recent reviews there each week, and I nearly always find something to add to my already abundant reading list.

Here's what's been going on at my reading blog this month. And I highly recommend this month's pick for my favorite.

What I Read:

• gods in Alabama (Joshilyn Jackson)
• Half of a Yellow Sun (Adichie)
• Songs in Ordinary Time (Mary McGarry Morris)
