My July to September reads. Healthy doses of the classics, humour, Southern Hemisphere books, poetry, plays, translated works and others. Many of the works have been suggested by the challenges of our colleagues, including Korrick, Im2bz and Heather Moss.
Favourites: Incarnadine, Moth, The Oval Lady, Black Beauty, Belonging, The Solid Mandala, On Juneteenth, Silence, John Bull's Other Island, Mr Palomar, You're Only Old Once, Mother Night, Bridge to Terabithia
BTW, many of these books have one or more features consistent with a retiree waiting to go on the aged pension:
--- downloadable or borrowable without cost from the Internet Archive, local and state libraries
--- old, musty physical volumes that no one else reads anymore
