So - May arrived and I stopped reading. It's November now, and I just might start again. 58 days left of the year... 17 books left from POP sugar challenge...

"Firelight limned the faded gilt titles: The Willows, The Outsider, Behold, The Dreamer, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Marvelous Land of Oz, Pellucidar, The Land That Time Forgot, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and the monstrous names of Arthur Machen and Edgar Allen Poe, and James Branch Cabell and Lord Dunsany and Blackwood and Lewis Carroll; the names, the old names, the evil names. "

If it isn't a Halloween challenge, it should be :-D
