We are into October, so it’s time for September’s round up.

What I have read

I hit my goal of 100 books in September – though book 100 was a somewhat fluffy/cosy magical mystery rather than something to show off about!

What I have read:

• The Invisible Dog – Dick King-Smith
• The Sword in the Stone (Once and Future King #1) – T H White
• The Sinister Omen (Nancy Drew #67)
• A Catalogue of Catastrophe (Chronicles of St Mary’s #13) – Jodi Taylor
• Mistletoe and Magic for the Cornish Midwife (Cornish Midwife #6) – Jo Bartlett
• Lessons in Chemistry – Bonnie Garmus
• Because of Winn-Dixie – Kate DiCamillo
• Spells & Shelves (Library Witch Mystery #1) – Elle Adams
• Beyond the Wand – Tom Felton
• Five Go Adventuring Again
• Charms & Chapters (Library Witch Mystery #2) – Elle Adams
• The Accidental Impostor (Heather Bay Romance #1) – Amber Eve
• The Nothing Girl (Frogmorton #1) – Jodi Taylor
• Don’t Give Up, Mallory (Baby-Sitters Club #108) – Ann M Martin
• Five Run Away Together
• The Accidental Actress (Heather Bay Romance #2) – Amber Eve
• Mary-Ann to the Rescue (Baby-Sitters Club #109) – Ann M Martin

And I’m still working on:

• Hex Appeal – Kate Johnston
• Five Go to Smuggler’s Top 
• The Accidental Investigator (Heather Bay Romance #3) – Amber Eve

What I have watched

• I finished Murder She Wrote and then watched two of the TV movies that came after the series. I’ve read that there is to be a new Murder She Wrote movie – but it just won’t be the same without Angela Lansbury!
• I finally got around to watching Brigadoon which was rather a let-down.
• Ewan and I have been watching the third season of Only Murders In the Building, Only Connect and The Simpsons (we’re on season 6 already but there are 33 on Disney+!) We also watched a few episodes of House of Games but then discovered we had watched every episode they had on iPlayer.
• On Tuesdays my sister and I watched (and finished) Is it Cake Too? We also watched one episode of Making Fun – a bunch of guys building strange ideas dreamed up by children but it was awful and we will be looking for something else to watch next time.
• I also squeezed in a couple of episodes of Hack My Home.

What I have done

Not a very busy month as we’ve all had the cold at one point or another.

• Went to the award ceremony for Brodie completing his summer reading challenge, and celebrated with a Nando’s afterwards.
• Completed the Tayport history trail, and as it was very got we had ice-creams. Stupidly I didn’t take any photos of the views from the top of the small hill we climbed in the process – it was so clear we could see all the way out to the Bell Rock Lighthouse.
• Completed a slightly tricky bookshop jigsaw – the brick part took ages.
• Got stung by a wasp for the first time in my entire life – I do not recommend it!
• Took a walk to gather blackberries (and Brodie got stung by wasp for the first time, too!)
• Did some home-schooling due to the three day strikes which closed or partially closed a lot of the city’s schools

What did your September look like?
