I finished War and Peace this week; I'd been working on it since summer (my second time reading it!) I also read National Avenue by Booth Tarkington, which I think qualifies—I'm pretty sure I ordered my copy in August. :)

I personally remember him as being a bit stiff/serious mostly, not an antagonist like Xanatos, but it's been years since I read those. =)
Read some Christian fiction e-books that have been on my Kindle app: My first time reading Ronie Kendig --my mom has some of her books, so I definitely want to check out her full length novels.
Necessary Proof - Camy Tang
Operation Zulu Redemption: Overkill - The Beginning by Ronie Kendig
Love in the Balance - Regina Jennings
I finished Vikings and Spy for the Queen of Scots, both of which were on my pile of library books that I've had out for weeks and weeks and really needed to get finished before I go to uni. Two left. Pretty sure I'm not going to manage the massive non-fiction one, but the shorter one I might... (I leave on Sunday.)
I finally finished Poems, 1923-1954, the collection of poems by e.e. cummings I've been reading slowly for months. And my dad pulled For Whom Did Christ Die? off our family shelves and gave it to me to read last week; I don't know if that counts for this month's challenge.

I like her name a lot, but now it means a talking iPhone. :P Ferus was mostly just a prim and proper, stuck up, "I'm a better Padawan than you" goody two shoes, which made him super annoying. Xanatos was evil. I only read about half of the Jedi Quest books, random ones, and I think the last one I read was the 10th one, which freaked me out because Korriban was creepy and I had just watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom for the first time. Strangely enough, though, I actually like both stories.
My September reading (only books that were already on my Kindle):Justin by Charissa Taylor Lees (beta-read)
Every Tear by Molly Evangeline (finally!)
The Adventures of Starlight and Sunny
Nathan's Montana Bride by Maya Stirling
My #5, "Why Not?" by Margaret Widdemer (will be adding the book as read on my page in the hopefully near future...have to add my edition, etc.)
My #6 is "The Indifference of Juliet" by Grace Richmond. Sweet, delightful story...wish it had been longer!
Okay, final list:1. Anne of Green Gables Treasury - Carolyn Strom Collins
2. New Dress a Day - Marisa Lynch
3. Rebels - Jill Williamson
4. Skirt a Day Sewing - Nicole Smith

6. Summer Promise - Robin Jones Gunn
7. A Whisper & a Wish - Robin Jones Gunn
8. Yours Forever - Robin Jones Gunn
9. Necessary Proof - Camy Tang
10. - Operation Zulu Redemption: Overkill - Ronie Kendig
11. Love in the Balance - Regina Jennings
12. Surprise Endings - Robin Jones Gunn
13. Contours in the Air: The Sculpture of Ruth Asawa - Elisa Urbanelli
Still didn't get around to everything I wanted to, but not bad --I don't think I've read this many books in awhile. =)
