Hello and welcome to the September 2018 book list ( also known as my reading list). I am never quite sure what to call this. I have a To Be Read (TBR) list but for this monthly post these are books I have read (occasionally books read by my family). What do you call your list… Book List or Reading List? Maybe I am just over-thinking it.

Regardless of what I call it, let’s move on to the books. That’s the most important part!

September 2018 Book List full text

First up a return to the Ghosts of Culloden Moor

• Jack – The Ghosts of Culloden Moor, Book 44 – L.L. Muir   A Highlander undone…
  Anyone would go mad if they’d been through 269 years of torment like Jack’s. But he will never give up trying to fulfill that promise. A woman out for revenge…
  Callie cannot forgive the man who has stolen her mother away. Once she hunts him down, she’ll make him pay…unless Jack can change her mind about Scotsmen.
  Maybe two troubled souls can find peace if they stay close to each other.
• The Storyteller – The Ghosts of Culloden Moor, Book 45 –  Terri Brisbin   Struan Cameron has spent the last 270 years trapped between life and death on the battlefield of Culloden Moor. His role as the Storyteller has kept many of the other ghosts from going mad. Fiona Masters has lost everyone important to her in a terrible accident that she believes was her fault. Mired in pain and grief, she decides she cannot live another day. Two strangers who have suffered similar loss and grief find that they do have some comfort to offer, but at the end of two days, will either of them be alive? 

Next are two books from Hazel Hunter’s Immortal Highlander series

• Tharaen – Immortal Highlander Book 2 – Hazel Hunter    Lieutenant Diana Burke will not give up. Though her missing person case had gone stone cold, something about the disappearance of Kinley Chandler doesn’t make sense. But the last place the detective expects to find her is the highlands of medieval Scotland. Bodyguard Tharaen Aber needs another security complication like he needs the plague. But the ingenious lass he catches sneaking around Dun Aran castle couldn’t be more opposite. But not all eyes see Diana for the good she brings. In fact, the druids demand that she leave and are determined to make it happen.
• Evander – Immortal Highlander Book 3 – Hazel Hunter   Rachel Ingram is living the dream. Heiress to billions, she’s engaged to the perfect man. But with the sudden death of her parents, her world begins to crumble. When she discovers her new husband’s true nature, her life implodes. Evander Talorc is living a nightmare. Traitor to his clan of immortal highlanders, he lives alone in a remote cottage. But it was not always that way. Abandoned and forgotten, Rachel and Evander find each other. But the rest of the world will not let them be.

Two in a really sweet, clean  romance series from one of my new favorite authors

• Billionaire Land Baron – The Billionaire Surprise Book 2 Emma St. Clair     Jake is the big-city billionaire. Shelby is the small-town sweetheart. Opposites attract, but there’s one little problem: her home is the final land he needs for his new development. When she finds out that Jake is the reason she’s losing her land, can she find it in her heart to forgive? Or is this the proof that a happy-ever-after is just out of reach? 
•  The Billionaire Benefactor – The Billionaire Surprise Book 3 – Emma St. Clair   Jenny Abrams is a recent widow struggling to take care of her two children and her own loss. What no one knows is that her husband had been cheating for a year and they were about to divorce. When her secret celebrity crush shows up at her door offering to help out, she faces a complicated emotional dilemma.

Three Stand-alone novels for the September 2018 Book List

• A Gift Horse: A Christmas Carousel Story – Beth Carpenter  (12 Days of Heartwarming Christmas)  Luke Mueller has good reasons to keep to himself. After his fiancée and best friend cheated him out of his company three years ago, he moved to Christmas Town and started a business restoring antique farm equipment. Enter Gwen, friend of his late neighbor. The more time he spends with Gwen, the more Luke grows to admire her. He slowly learns to trust again. But Gwen has a secret that involves Luke. If he finds out, the foundation of trust they’ve built may be destroyed. And trust isn’t something that’s easy to restore. 
• Fire: An Anthology – Kris Loomis & 11 others. Fire! It warms our bones and purifies but can also destroy – especially in the wrong hands. This anthology unites twelve writers from around the world in the first book of their Elements series. Through its stories of magic, death, destruction and rebirth, this Fire anthology showcases imagination at its best. You will be enthralled from the first page to the last.
• The Tenth Island: Finding Joy, Beauty, and Unexpected Love in the Azores – Diana Marcum  From a Pulitzer Prize–winning writer comes an exuberant memoir of personal loss and longing, and finding connection on the remote Azorean Islands of the Atlantic Ocean.

A bonus recommendation for the September 2018 Book List for parents of toddlers

• Oh Crap! Potty Training – Jamie Glowacki  Jamie Glowacki—potty-training expert, Pied Piper of Poop, and author of the popular guide, Oh Crap! Potty Training—shares her proven 6-step plan to help you toilet train your preschooler quickly and successfully.
• Toddlers are A**holes: It’s Not Your Fault  – Bunmi Laditan  Toddler a**holery is a normal part of human development—not unlike puberty, except this stage involves throwing food on the floor and taking swings at people who pay your way in life. For parents of toddlers, it’s a “you better laugh so you don’t cry” period.
  Bunmi Laditan’s hilarious, satirical guide to toddlerhood offers parents instant (and very welcome) comic relief—along with the very good news that “It’s Not Your Fault.”
