October Reading!

[sweet_sparrow]

What've you been up to, bookwise, in October? Read anything you think everyone should read? Something everyone should avoid? Are, or were, you reading anything special for Halloween? Too busy to read?

I'll be diving into Winter Rose by Patricia McKillip after hitting post here. I'm hoping to finish it before the end of the day as my final Tam Lin related book for this month. You could call it my special Halloween read if you liked.

My List of Books as it stands now - I'm not convinced I'll have the time on Monday - is as follows:

- Blood Roses by Francesca Lia Block (Didn't finish. FLB's prose and I do not get along.)
- Labyrinth by A.C.H. Smith
- Out of the Silent Planet (Space 1) by C.S. Lewis
- The Silver Chair (Chronicles of Narnia 6) by C.S. Lewis
- The House on Durrow Street (Mrs. Quent 2) by Galen Beckett
- The Witch Queen's Secret (Trystan & Isolde 1.5) by Anna Elliott
- Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones
- An Earthly Knight by Janet McNaughton
- The Perilous Gard Elizabeth Marie Pope
- Dawn of Avalon (Trystan & Isolde 0) by Anna Elliott

That makes a total of ten books. Possibly eleven if I can get the one I started yesterday finished on time. ^-~ I'm a little surprised, actually, that I don't seem to have managed any non-fantasy books this month. I thik my favourite, despite having a boatload of issues with it, is The House on Durrow Street and Labyrinth is my least favourite. Stick with the movie.

I am, however, all caught up on my coursework reading now. Yay!

Mmm, sounds like it's a case of too much Heyer, yes. I had that reaction to Cotillion too, that feeling of wanting jump straight into another one, but I didn't have any others around so that put a stop to that. ^-^

I think I might delve into Faro's Daughter next, but I don't know. I'll see. *pokes TBR pile* At least it's shrinking instead of expanding rapidly.
