What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?

If I look at my favorite month of the year by the number of books that I’ve read, within the last two years my favorite months would be

• March of 2023
• December of 2022

Both months with 12 books read and finished (some started a month or so before, when it came to long tomes).

If I look at my favorite month of the year by the number of favorite books that I’ve read, last year my favorite month would’ve been September. With those two favorites (out of my 2022 total favorites of 9) being

• And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
• God Help the Child by Toni Morrison
