Hey remember in August how I managed to read some non-white people and books that were older than me? Yeah, that didn't so much happen in September. Whoops. It's a bit upsetting that in order to be more diverse I have to really work at it. It doesn't just come naturally. Except with lady authors. I'm pretty happy with the frequency I read lady authors considering it takes no additional effort other than "these books look like exactly the type of thing I would enjoy." And with that, onto the stats!

Perhaps there's hope October will have more diversified reading, but given I'll also be hosting The Corrections readalong which means I will most likely be leaning on comfort reads in between chapters. We shall see.
