It appears I didn’t read very much in September, at least not for pleasure. I read a ton for work, and that didn’t leave me much time for relaxing with a book in hand. My favorite reads this month were Auralia’s Colors (in case you haven’t guessed) and the biography of Shirley Jackson.

The Top Five Most Popular Posts in September:

Contest! Win a Free Book!!
Comfort Food (Booking Through Thursday)
Eaten By the Monster of Mooch–seems to be a common problem!
Random Advice on Random Topics–thank you to all who linked and visited from the Daily Blog Tips writing project.

Overall, this has been an incredible month for Reading is my Superpower. Comments are on the rise, as are subscribers to the feed. I’m very encouraging as I approach my one-year anniversary as a litblogger–watch for a very special post mid-month!

Taking a cue from Ian at Upper Fort Stewart, I thought I’d write a post rounding up the best of Reading is my Superpower, and describe some of the features on the site that you may not have noticed.

I post every time I finish reading a book. I don’t post between books, so every post on Reading is my Superpower means I’ve read a book in its entirety. You can find my archive by clicking All the Books So Far in the sidebar.

Each posts has a selection of tags that will lead you to similar posts. You’ll find the comments section at the bottom of individual posts, and can always access it by clicking the comments counter at the top of the post. Continue reading →
