October 2012: Newest on To-Read

[Claire-Jane]

Finished with Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West- the last of my stack of library books.

Onto some Halloween reading now in the shape of one latest second hand purchases . . . I've read a lot of King but never this one . . .

[Alison]

Im reading Foul Play by Janet Evanovich. It isnt one of the newest on my to-read list but it is one of my newest purchases from the library book sale we had in town recently. Im loving it so far!

Yes, October is Newest and November is Highest Rated. Sorry for the confusion; they're very similar-sounding themes back-to-back!

Re November theme--It turns out that my highest rated to read is the second book in a duology. I have both on my to-read, but the second book is rated 5.00, the only book on my to-read shelf with a perfect score. I have nothing against reading out of order, but these are alternate universe novels. So it's probably better to get the background in the first book before I read the second. I have just downloaded them both from Smashwords. I'm not sure I have the time to read the first book before November. I may have to be a Theme Rebel because I want to read the first book before the second.

October's almost over but I've got a tiny little book to fit in: . At 138 pages, hoping I'll be done before the end of the month! :)

I will be reading the third highest rated book on my list because the highest is the eighth in a series in which I am reading the second and I can't get the other from the library.

[Shomeret]

I'm currently reading Painter of Silenceby Georgina Harding. It deals with a deaf artist in Romania during the 1950's largely from the perspective of a nurse who knew him when they were both children. I'm finding it very compelling and am already halfway through.

@Tammy--I see that I'm not going to be the only November theme rebel.

[Melissa]

My November book will be it has a 5 star rating, but it only has 2 ratings. It sounds like an interesting read though so I am looking forward to it!

[SteinFussel]

I just finished the Books of Ember. Nice ones. The Books of Ember

[Dana]

The highest rated book I can get my hands on is Complete Poems, 1904-1962, but I'm not sure if that will work. I will try though!

Careful, guys; this is the October thread, not the November thread. ;)

[Shomeret]

I'm reading Illuminations: A Novel of Hildegard von Bingen, a historical fiction about a really amazing medeival abbess. I probably won't be able to finish it today. This means that I'll be in revolt against November's theme, I suppose.

[Dana]

I did end up finishing this past weekend. My life is somewhat crazy hectic right now so I'm excited that I'm still able to participate! :)

I just finished The Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times which was a "newest on to-read" book for me. A very interesting (and graphic) story of a midwife in the 1950's East End of London.
