I‘ve got limited audiobook listening time this week so it‘ll be interesting to see how well I make my way through my #weeklyforecast (given that about half of the above are audiobooks due back to the library somewhat soon) 😃
Regardless, I‘ve got some good choices ahead of me!

Because I‘ve got outstanding goals/challenges and about three months left in the year (yikes, btw), I‘m going to try to do better on keeping a #weeklyforecast and follow up book report. Hopefully this will keep me on track for my reading goals 🤞
I‘ve got to finish a few of the above so i can return then to the library or mail off to someone... and a few are carrying over from August to September 😅

VeganCleopatra There are actually four months left if that makes you feel better. 4y

Excellent and very detailed; pretty much a straightforward recording of life in South London during WWII. The more learn, the less I find I know, and the more I want to find out. Another great one from Persephone Books, and the last of this summer‘s acquisitions.

Sparklemn I read this a few years ago. I loved it. Another great discovery from #persephone! 4y

I remember the day I carelessly ordered this book because I wanted to own all of the #Persephone books, and then never read it! Definitely need to rectify that. #autobiography #readjanuary

Few Eggs and No Oranges is made up of Vere's diary entries during WWII while living in London. I loved the first season of HOME FIRES and this put me in mind of it when I pulled it out of my batch of books that had been in storage for 2 years last week.
