Hello All, Happy November! I love this month. Here in Pennsylvania, the trees have all turned beautiful colors and we are getting ready to light our fire place. I spent the morning pulling out my sweaters and looking at the books I'm going to read curled up under a blanket.

Here are October's statistics, as of today, we have 83 participants. We have read 359 books of the 1071 pledged, and 11 participants have completed the challenge!

Great job everyone!

Finally updated message 18 again after a long time away! I'm up to 44 now. Not sure how that happened. I'm open to adding more in the next month or so now that I'm kinda back into this, but I don't know how likely that is. Saying that this was nice though, so thanks! :)

[Sheryl_at_Ubookquitous]

The bad news -- I fell short and ran out of time. The good news is that although I didn't meet this challenge, I met a couple others and more importantly, met my year's goal of 40 books. :-)

I had a great time getting through some good books that have been in my TBR for a while.

Congrats to everyone who met the challenge.
