I've been doing ThrowbackThursdays for a while but I noticed that I wrote a lot of reviews in a short time when I first started. So, I listed more than one Throwback book every week. Now, I have reached the ones I posted ten years ago and will probalby just post one every month. These are my reviews from September 2015. | Let's read

This book challenge takes place twice a year and concentrates on one year and one year only. I call it "Read the Year Club". This time, 1925 was picked. For more information, see Simon @ Stuck in a Book and Kaggsy @ Kaggsy's Bookish Ramblings (here is Karen's invite and here is Simon's). If you are looking for inspiration, there are a few books from that year that I read already:| Let's read
"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.| Let's read
Vreeland, Susan "The Passion of Artemisia" - 2002I read "Girl in Hyacinth Blue" by this author a couple of years ago and really loved it. I always wanted to read something else by her. Now, I came across this book and it's about a female paper from the Baroque period. I had never heard of Artemisia Gentileschi even though I love art. Typical, women are never acknowledged much.| Let's read

Benedetti, Mario "The Truce" (Spanish: La Tregua) - 1960Diana from Thoughts on Papyrus recommended this book to me. It's not very long, so I read it in between other things. Despite its brevity, it contains a lot, practically everything you need for a long life.| Let's read

Ephron, Nora "Crazy Salad: Some Things About Women" - 1975I absolutely love Nora Ephron. Shes was a fantastic author as well as a fantastic human being. Everything she says is close to my heart and I felt nodding along, no matter what I was reading about. If you ever felt like the odd one out, as if nothing you did would be acknowledged by others and they would always find a new excuse why, this is the book for you.| Let's read
