How will you be spending your Halloween? I hope to get a bit of reading done between church this morning and a Harvest Party at my folks’ church in the evening – an annual tradition that makes my kids extremely happy, as they bring home enough candy to last long into the New Year. If I do find time to read, it will be spent with Paranormal by Kiersten White and How to Be an American Housewife by Margaret Dilloway. What are you reading? Is it scary, in honor of the holiday?

Beth – Yes, I did have a good month – and the star-rating average was high cause I put down a few books I wasn’t enjoying. Life’s too short for reading books I don’t like!

Wow, what a month! I can tell you are so happy to have a normal schedule, you have gone on a reading rampage! Believe it or not, my daughter was searching for our Halloween pillowcases (she needs something BIG for her candy collection) and found them in the back of our cabinet with last year’s remnants of candy in them. Yuck!

Sandy – your kids left Halloween candy from last year – and didn’t eat it? It must have been what Josiah calls the “yucky” ones.
You had an amazing reading month in October! But it makes me happy, since I’m always stealing reading recommendations from you – the more you read, the more I know about! :–)

You had an awesome month of reading! What a stack! I have no idea what I’m going to read today – probably something to inspire me in time for NaNoWriMo tomorrow.

Vasilly- I can’t start at midnight cause I have to get up super early and take Natalie to Spokane for a Remicade treatment. I’m taking my laptop – she usually sleeps through it because of the Benadryl they pretreat with, so hopefully I’ll get some good writing time in.

Whoa. You’ve been busy, haven’t you? Out of those, the Hornby and the M.T. Anderson books interest, or have interested, me. I think my wife read Slam, but I didn’t get to it. I picked up the first Octavian Nothing book, but never got to it. Maybe it’s good I didn’t, huh?

UP – I liked Octavian Nothing, but that one section kind of blew it for me. I’m still going to read (or listen to) volume two, though.

Great reading month. James and I are reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows right now.

Michelle – it was a real page-turner!
Hope you enjoyed your Harvest Party. They used to do those at my son’s school when he was in Elementary and he loved it!

Kathleen – it was full of loud and noisy kids – the kids had a blast.
Oh, and brought home a ton of cookies.
26 books? Did I count correctly? You go!

Jen – yes – it was 26. I don’t know how or why October turned out to be my best month of the year, but it did!
We were party poopers this year – we spent Halloween at the beach. I had big plans to read The Graveyard Book but never got around to it.

says:
Kathy – the beach sounds like a perfect place to spend Halloween!
26 books?! Very impressive! October was a great reading month for you.
