    Ooh The Princess Bride would be fun, seems like! And that's not bad at all for your summer list. My reading this summer was terrible!

    Born a Crime on audio is fabulous; read by Trevor Noah.

    I'm heartbroken over the untimely passing of RBG, even though we knew she was very ill, I can't seem to focus on print books right now, just audio for some reason.

    I'm eager to read Vanishing Half. Hopefully I will be able to pick it up from the library today. I'm not sure I can handle Sixth Extinction or Stable Genius right now.

    You did well on your summer TBR list! I love making seasonal TBR lists, but I rarely actually stick to them. It's just fun thinking about what I MIGHT want to read, even if I never actually do it. LOL.

    Happy TTT!

      Several of these are book club selections. I can't always read whatever I want to read...book club keeps me focused.

    I've read 3 of your Fall books: Vanishing Half, Born a Crime, and Clap When You Land. They are all so different and all so good! I think you have a good Fall reading coming up.
