Your Turn!
That was my October. How was yours?
My October was still a little slow and foggy, but hopefully I am back on the right track and will be able to pull out of my slump soon. It seems this has been a hard year for me, reading wise, and I don’t like it a bit! I do think you you’ve read some great things this month though, and I wish you a great November!
My October was fantastic. I met goals and I read a ton of books (12). Hope your November is just as good.
I am sorry you disliked The Devil in the White City. I loved it! You did a great job in October!
AND!!!! You found your book twin! (or was that in Sept already?) AND you ran the Cheerers for ReadAThon! huge.
AND..
um, I read 6 books which is huge and this is after reading 8 books in Sept which was extremely huge and why do I still very way behind for the year when I’m catching up, I do not know.
CHEERS!
My October month was rather similar. See here: http://wordsandpeace.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/octobre-2011-wrap-up/

I am so happy to see you enjoyed Middlesex! I am trying to read his newest book, but it isn’t working for me yet.
