September was a very meh reading month. Work was busy, I had car troubles that took up a lot of attention, and things weren’t great all around!! I did enjoy The Duke and the Dressmaker as a little historical romance palate cleanser. Everything else I thought should have been more fleshed out and longer!!! However, The Dragon’s Bride was very fun, and even though I wanted more, it stood on its own. The novellas from Kindle Unlimited often feel like starters, something that could eventually be built into a longer work, but is ultimately left as it is. The others were not even really worth revisiting for me, and I was disappointed in the execution of Squirrel Meets World and The Gothic. Peg and Rose Solve a Murder looks like it should have been more fun and have some of that spry old person/Golden Girls vibes, but it felt very bitter.
