September Author in the September Wrap-Up + Giveaway

September Author in the September Wrap-Up + Giveaway.

September was a very slow reading month for me.  I went from reading a book a day in the summer to only finishing 4 books in September. Life is busy when your a teacher and a mom to two teenagers.  What can I say?  The month passed in a blur of craziness.  My kids are in 8th grade and 10th grade now.  I took off my cast and am finally walking on two feet but am still in pain and undergoing physical therapy for my left foot. Recovery is so slow.

Join me as I say goodbye to Minnesota author, P.S. Duffy.  The best book I read in September was The Cartographer of No Man's Land by P.S. Duffy, September's Author in the Spotlight.  Lucky for you, P.S. Duffy is giving away 3 copies of her book to U.S. followers.  Go enter quick, it ends today at midnight.

The Cartographer of No Man's Land Giveaway

Read my book review of this thoughtful, wonderful novel about World War I.  Told in alternating chapters, The Cartographer of No Man's Land captures the voices of Angus and Simon Peter, as father and son, an ocean apart.  The novel also captures the emotional intensity of war and the horror that surrounds it as well as the emotional divide it creates in the people who fight and their loved ones back home.
