Nick KYO.K. I messed up on my last post. Let’s see if I can get this one right.
5.4 Dungeons & Dragons. Read a book with “Fantasy” as a GR genre. I read The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein by Peter Ackroyd.
15.10 Free for Fall. I read Harvest by Jim Crace. It is up for the Man Booker Prize, and it’s a really good historical fiction read! But it’s only 208 pages, so it did not count for the task I originally put it in. Criminy. I’m glad I’ve saved my Free for Fall until now!
