This month, I missed one of my favorite link ups, Twitterature, at Modern Mrs. Darcy. I suppose though it is never too late to list my monthly reads. Here goes… 

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin. For anyone who has ever dreamed of owning a bookstore, this is a must read. I wasn’t completely in love with the plot but the bookstore and the all the literacy references made it worth a read.

Bellweather Rhapsody by Kate Racculia. I loved this book and considered adding it to my Favorites of 2014 list until I got to the end. That said, it reminded me of another favorite, I’ll Give You the Sun, and I’m glad I read it.

100 Essays I Don’t Have Time to Write by Sarah Ruhl. While I didn’t read all the 100 essays that Ruhl didn’t have time to write, I particularly loved On Reading Aloud.  No surprise there I guess!

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton. My friend Nicky has been telling me to read this one since the summer. Now I know why. I’m not going to say anymore though because I will be writing about The Miniaturist at Great New Books in a few weeks.
