BJ Rose (bjrose) | 1216 comments Got two more and might still get to my pet book…

√ COLOR: Black: As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust (Flavia de Luce, #7) by Alan Bradley - 10.03
I know the blue stands out, but the letters and chimney are black, and the mood of the book tends toward black - poor Flavia!

√ COLOR:Orange: Murder on St. Mark's Place (Gaslight Mystery, #2) by Victoria Thompson - 10.05
√ THEME: Halloween: Paranormal: Chapel is a vampire - Be Mine Tonight (Brotherhood of Blood, #1) by Kathryn Smith - 10.11
√ THEME: United Nations: takes place in country other than mine - takes place in England; I live in U.S. - Vixen in Velvet (The Dressmakers, #3) by Loretta Chase - 10.09

NOTE: I corrected the dates on the first two books - for some reason, I was still mentally in the 9th month!
