Welcome to the challenge Melissa. Your name is linked.

[Melissa]

Thanks Phrynne, it's my first time participating in a goodreads group challenge so I'm eager to see how I'll go. And it may be weird coming from a stranger but congrats to Michelle and George in becoming parents. I'm happy for your blessed child, it'll be awesome introducing a young mind to the wonders of books and you'll soon enough create a devoted reader out of your boy!

[Mell]

Many, many thanks to Diane, Jenny and Melissa, you're best wishes are very much appreciated <3

Happy November everyone.
I'm starting with The Pilo Family Circus by Will Elliott, a book which seems to fit into the horror genre, not normally my thing at all, can't remember why I added it, ? featured on ABC bookclub perhaps. Anyway, this will be interesting!
