Pick of the Month [September 2017]

September was a record reading month for 2017, somehow I managed to read/listen to a whopping 19 books! Granted, quite a few of these were a lot shorter than books I typically read so the stats are a little padded. 

Despite getting through so much print, this is the first month where my pick of the bunch has been clear cut and it's yet another audio book, goes to show I'm loving this medium of storytelling this year (being my first year of giving it a try). 

Phasma by Delilah S. Dawson is a must read for fans of the new Star Wars canon of books. It gives the character from The Force Awakens a hardened edge and depth that was lacking from the movie and builds the anticipation for her portrayal in the upcoming movie The Last Jedi. The audio production was cinematic-like in its quality, very happy I took the plunge and bought the audio rather than print edition, I think it added so much more to the atmosphere of the book (which is damn good to being with).

Other books I read in September which I rated 5 stars on Goodreads are as follows:

Peepland by Christa Faust and Garry Phillips - gritty crime fiction on the Deuce 

Green Hell by Ken Bruen - the 11th book in the Jack Taylor series 

Killer Tease by Danny Hogan - (reread) pulp/crime fiction
