It is already close to the end of September. I am sitting at my desk, a pen in my hand, and I am thinking about the fall season. There are rainy days, and there are warmer days. I enjoy the mornings, waking up to stillness and seeing if it is time to get up and get ready for the day. The alarm clock doesn’t always ring. If the clock does ring, the sound is almost too faint.
During the past few months, I started a few books but did not finish that many. Although I am having trouble finding a book that I will stick to the end, I still made a list of books to read for the month of October. I am hopeful I will get to some if not all of them at some point. Here goes!
