• Phinneas and Ferb: Candace Against the Universe - Our entertaining family movie night selection.

• The Doorman - So very forgettable.

Comments - A mixed bag when it came to the quality of the books I read this month, but I did reach my number goal. I’ve put myself on a library hold ban for November and December (except for book club books). Things got a little out of a hand and I stop reading my unread books. Need to get back to my own bookshelves and knock out some more books.
