Current Read

Blameless by Gail Carriger (Parasol Protectorate #3) -- Absolutely in love with this series right now.  I'm blowing through Blameless and should be starting Heartless very soon.  Unfortunately I have to wait a few months for Timeless.

Books Won (7)

Thank you all for hosting some great giveaways!  I can't wait to dig into this spooky pile.

  • Awaking by Madeline Freeman from The Wormhole.
  • Feed by Mira Grant  from Julie at My Book Retreat.
  • Zombie Apocalypse, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters and Zombie Blondes from Michelle at Castle Macabre.
  • Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs from Lori at Pure Imagination.
  • Dead on the Delta by Stacey Jay (personalized and signed!!!)  from Kelly at Reading the Paranormal.

Series I Gave Up On

Night World -- It became much too formulaic for my tastes.  I had to call it quits.

Challenges Completed (6)

Frightful Fall Readathon.  Dewey 24-Hour Readathon.  Graphic Novel Reading Challenge.  Bout of Books Readathon.  Page to Screen Reading Challenge.  Vampire Challenge.

Three readathons and three reading challenges completed.  I am very happy with my success from this past month. Also I am getting closer and closer to my 2011 reading goals (over 80% done!).

Comments

I knew this month would be a transition time.  Settling into my full time position meant I had to reexamine my reading habits and time.  Hence the abundance of graphic novels in my reading list.  They are easier to stop and start than full length novels.  Plus I can finish one of them in a day.  They helped me smooth over the transition.  I already have my TBR list for next month.  It's full of historical fiction to wrap up that and some other yearly challenges.  I am certain the Fables series will be continued once those books come off hold at the library.  And J just told me today that the next The Boys volume comes out towards the end of the month...  You know we will be getting and devouring that.
