I finished 16 titles (12 down from last month, 12 down from last September, too), with an equivalent of 4,948+ pages or the equivalent (4,460 down from last month, even with me finishing up a couple of project reads), and gave them an average of 4.13 stars (.27 up from last month).
If you haven’t checked out some of the non-reviewish posts, I’d really suggest looking into Saint the Terrifying spotlight, the Shannon Knight guest post, and the Chat with Adrian M. Gibson. Those’re posts that need more attention (because of the others involved, I should stress).
So, here’s what happened here in September.
