What did you read in OCTOBER?

Young_Love · October 2014

What did you read this month? How was it? How many books is that this year? How many more to your goal?

Young_Love · October 2014

The Raven Boys

The Dream Thieves

Blue Lily, Lily Blue...twice

Never Let Me Go
The Taming of the Shrew
Make It Right - Megan Erickson

I'm at 40 books for the year. I'm aiming for 52, but I don't know if I can do 6 each month with all the writing I need to do. Plus I'm mad at GR because I can't count my re-reads toward my yearly challenge unless I change the date read and I don't want to do that. Ho hum.

WillyH19 · October 2014

Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins

Daughter of Smoke and Bone - Laini Taylor

Lola and the Boy Next Door - Stephanie Perkins

I hit my goal of 50 books on October 25. I don't plan to increase my goal, but I will be interested to see how many more I can read for the year.

Can you find another edition? I think I did that with Dream Thieves since I've read it twice this year. Even if it's an audio edition or a foreign language edition, it lets you keep an accurate count.

Robopocalypse
The Good Earth
Akira Volume II
Theodore Rex
Wool (Silo #1)

Standouts are Wool and Shift - the first two parts of a dystopian future trilogy, and The Blind Side. I'm not a football person at all but I really enjoyed it.

I'm at 92/100 books for the year so I should have no problem finishing in time.
