This Week's Topic is: What was the best book you read in September?
The best book I read this month was The Princesses of Iowa by M. Molly Backes.
Even though I have lived in Minnesota for 13 years I grew up in Iowa. I went to high school in Iowa, I went to college in Iowa.
Reading this book was a little like visiting home for me and I seriously had to keep myself from getting in my car and taking a road trip to Iowa.
I felt like some of the characters in the book could have been people I knew.
It was more than just Iowa me who liked this book Writer me like this book too. The main character, Paige, ends up in a creative writing class. Watching Paige find her voice and become a writer is something writers can relate to.
What was your favorite book of September?

I'm so glad to hear you say this! I have this one on my To Read list after I saw the author at Printer's Row lit fest in Chicago this summer. It sounded like an edgy-ish contemporary I'd like.

I've heard great things about this one! I'll definitely be putting it on my TBR list.
The whole concept of "coming home" when reading a book is just too fun!! I'm glad to hear this book was that for you. I havent read it yet
