What'd you read in October?

[Jessie Marie]

Tell us the books you've read in October! I'll start to populate this thread with covers. You may post them all at the end of the month or one book at a time as you go. How many books will our group read in just 31 days? In September, we read 54 books. Let's see if we can surpass that!





x3

[Heather]

Finished Sudden Death. I'm really liking this series. It's borderline cozy mystery/procedural drama. I'm digg'n it.

[Karen]

Just finished Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I'm really liking a lot of the "banned or challenged" books.

[Heather]

Read another one in the Andy Carpenter series, Play Dead.

[RedReadingRoom]

First two done for this month - The Green Mile and Freedom's Landing

[Heather]

Finished another one in the series, New Tricks. Gonna take a break from the series now, as I need to read some other books this month.

[Heather]

Finished Dog Tags. So much for taking a break from this series....

[Heather]

Finished One Dog Night and Leader of the Pack by David Rosenfelt.

[RedReadingRoom]

Another 2 down - Azazel and Road to Nowhere

[Þórdís]

I've finished Anna Dressed in Blood, The Hawley Book of the Dead, Fíasól og litla ljónaránið, My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish and Be Careful What You Wish For...

[Heather]

I've done NONE of the reading I planned this month. I've become completely addicted to this series. Anyhoo, I finished a few more:
Unleashed and Hounded by David Rosenfelt.

[Heather]

Finished Who Let the Dog Out? and Outfoxed.

Hey. If it works, no need to change it. : ) Especially if you're enjoying the books.

[RedReadingRoom]

Finished Freedom's Choice, the second book in the Catteni series

[Catherine]

I've just finished dissolution by c j sansom. I know I'm very behind. 2 weeks of having the flu meant I couldn't concentrate on reading as well as being slow.

[Þórdís]

Finished The Perfect Husband by Lisa Gardner, My Sister's Grave and Her Final Breath by Robert Dugoni
and just finished Creatures of Appetite by Todd Travis which just blew me away.

I always like the fact that reading, unlike so many other things in life, is not a race. As long as you enjoy the book it doesn't matter how long it takes you to read it :)

[Keri]

Ive not kept up with all the books ive read. I did just finish Small Great Things. This is a fabulous, thought provoking book by Jodi Picoult. It deals with race, justice, prejudice and privilege .

[Heather]

Finished Death of a Pumpkin Carver by Lee Hollis.

[RedReadingRoom]

Finished American Psycho and while I enjoyed it, it took me way longer than it should of and thrown me off pace a bit

[Jessie Marie]

I just finished my audiobook of Anna Dressed in Blood. Though it was a reread for me, it was still pretty good. I love Kendare's inability to care of about norms of YA - she includes some pretty hefty violence, touches on some dark topics and isn't afraid of swear words. But the narrator... he left a lot to be desired. It's never good when you realize that your narrator is reading, rather than performing.

[Keri]

Ok. Finally made a list of other books I have read or listened to this month.

Audio books : Prisoner of Azkaban and Vision in White by Nora Roberts. For Nora Roberts, I prefer the actual book, but I enjoyed the re-read. If you haven't listened to Jim Dale narrate the Harry Potter books, you need to get on it now.

Books I didn't enjoy...
Last Seen Leaving by Cale Roehrig
Lizzie's Christmas Escape by Christie Barlow

Books I did enjoy:
Remember by Shandon Dermott
12 Days of Christmas by Debbie Macomber
One Was Lost by Natalie D Richards
Baxter Family Christmas by Karen Kingsbury

[Heather]

Finished Pressed to Death by Kirsten Weiss. The second in a cozy mystery series I've been enjoying. This one was good, but not as good as the last one.

Also finished Deadly Dog Days by Jamie M. Blair. I *think* this is the first in a new cozy mystery series, but I'm not sure. GoodReads doesn't list it in a series, but it seems like it is. It was ok. Not sure I'd continue on with the series, though.

I've pretty much given up on any planned reading for this month. =\

[Heather]

Finished Forget Me Knot by Mary Marks

[RedReadingRoom]

Dont think i will get anything else finished this month, so finally I finished Eragon

[Jessie Marie]

Me, too. But it is okay. : )

I just finished up His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik. Super excellent. Reimagined historical fantasy - dragons and the Napoleonic wars. Novik is so good. And Simon Vance rocks as a narrator.

[Þórdís]

To finish up this months reading I read Är du feg Alfons Åberg? by Gunilla Bergström, Hitler 30 örlagastundir by Illugi Jökulsson and Gerviaugað by Helgi Jónsson
I also reread New York to Dallas by J.D. Robb

[Heather]

I think I forgot to post that I finished The Twelve Dogs of Christmas by David Rosenfelt. I finished that right after Outfoxed, which has already been added.

I also just finished Knot In My Backyard by Mary Marks. That'll be my last finish this month.

[Keri]

I did finally finish Anna dressed in blood. really liked it!
