Happy Friday!
What are you reading? Is it for one of the challenges? Just for fun, are you carving any pumpkins this year?
Re: Happy Friday!
I'm listening to Dreams of Gods and Monsters. I'm about 80% done. I'm going to be the dissenter and say that I'm not really enjoying this one. I'm finishing it out of commitment, not enjoyment. #84.
I don't usually carve a pumpkin. I don't mind painting or crafting with pumpkins, but I really dislike the scooping and carving. They never come out like I want them to.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

We plan on carving but I'm not sure when we're going to do it with DH working so much.

@babyRN2006 - How's Big Little Lies? I have been wanting to read it
I'm listening on my own to Astonish Me by Maggie Shipstead. I love the narrator's voice on this. It feels like warm melted butter when she speaks.
I'm reading The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen which I'm also enjoying.

I am reading Black Hills by Nora Roberts and Crushed by Sara Shepard. I also just started a reread of HP and the Chamber of Secrets. They are #64-66 for the year.
We carve a pumpkin every year but I usually leave that to DH and DD as they love Halloween and I don't really care for it.
I read We Were Liars earlier this week. Quick read and I really enjoyed it! It got me out of the book rut I was in.
I started The Cuckoo's Calling and quickly abandoned it for The Raven Boys. The Raven Boys started out slowly for me but now I'm loving it and am wondering if it would be terrible to let Disney Jr. entertain my 3 year old this afternoon so I can finish it.
