We’ve reached the second bookend of summer: Labor Day weekend, which means it’s time to put away our playthings and pull out our pom poms and denim for autumn.

First, I’d like to say a quick “thank you” to the Bookettes for being such faithful and interesting book bloggers here, and to the readers and our book club members for loving books and taking the time to get together to discuss them!

Every month, you’ll find fresh picks in our BEBookshelf in the sidebar of the site. For September, we’ve selected another diverse collection – a story of four women at a crossroads, two “birthday sisters” who love the same man, the story of what happens at a zoo, and a touching memoir about a writer and his mentor.

What they have in common is beautiful, engaging writing that makes you think. Click on the covers to learn more about each book and purchase if you so choose.

If you’d like to start a book club in your area, shoot me an e-mail and we’ll get you set up. We’re happy to add more lit sisters to our readerority.

What are you reading and loving?
