November Reading

November was marginally successful in terms of total read - 8 books, but woefully unsatisfactory in terms of the books themselves. Loved Jack Reacher as usual, and I finished with an acceptable entry in bubbly chick lit, but the rest were Dullsville all the way. It was really a bummer. I definitely could have read another book this month timewise, but I just didn't know what to pick. My ability to pick winners has seriously eroded in the past few months- I hope I can finish the year strong with enjoyable books, rather than plodding through poorly executed junk. Only one more to go to reach 100!

What I read this month:

The Death Cure- James Dashner
Annihilation- Jeff VanderMeer
End of Secrets- Ryan Quinn
Hush- Kate White
The Fire Seekers- Richard Farr
Personal- Lee Child
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot- David Shafer
Accidental It a Girl- Libby Street

previous months:

October, September, July/August, June, May, April, March, February, January

October Reading

October got me back in the swing of reading again, with ten books added to my tally.  Which, if you are keeping track at home, currently stands at 92 books! I actually had to count twice to make sure- this is the most I've read in a single year, and I still have two months left! Probably going to jinx myself, but it's going to be pretty hard not to hit my goal of 100 books in a single year. Which is good, because I didn't come close to achieving a single other resolution this year. Here's what I read in October:

The Directive - Matthew Quirk
The Queen of the Tearling - Erika Johansen
Age of Opportunity - Laurence Steinberg
The Girl With All The Gifts - M.R. Carey
The Magician's Land - Lev Grossman
Shovel Ready - Adam Sternbergh
Dear Daughter - Elizabeth Little
Mr. Mercedes - Stephen King
The Scorch Trials - James Dashner
The Death Cure - James Dashner
