Challenges Completed  -- Dewey Decimal: one book for each major section of the Dewey Decimal system. I really enjoy nonfiction so this challenge is great for me!

Comments - And I've hit my inevitable reading slump... I knew it was bound to happen sometime in the fall. I've been so busy with activities and planning for other activities that my reading took a nose dive. It also didn't help that I read two very involved books (The Distant Hours and 1491) that seemed to take forever! Here's hoping October goes a bit better.
