Picture Book Roundup:
1,000,000 Page Goal
Monthly Total: 1894 pages Pages Remaining: 739,457 pages
Current Read – Slowly slowly making my way through Voyager by Diana Gabaldon. I can't read it during night time feedings because the book is too large and my day time reading has gone down due to baby and toddler needs. I'm also reading a historical romance during the night feedings.
Books I Gave Up On
Challenges Completed -- I finished reading 20 different women fiction writers. Always love to complete this challenge. I would have finished it sooner, but I tend to read multiple books by the same women authors and decided to only count one book from each women author for the challenge. I also knocked out my Read My Damn Books challenge of 40 fiction books from my shelves.
Books bought/received

Comments – Decent showing for what I knew was going to be a slow reading month. Knocked out two more challenges and many challenges spots. Also finished a few series including The Finishing School by Gail Carriger that was started back in August. Looking forward to November's reading.
