I got so behind in this game this year that I sort of gave up. Still, now that I am getting back to more of my old reading habits, I may want to try to play along for November and December. I read Agnes Gray last month, so I still won't be doing this game in October. Oh well. I may try to finish all the books that have already been selected fo rthis year, at least.

Finished so far:
Tono Bungay, Hard Times, Villette, Agnes Gray

Yeah, I gave up on this game for this year, but I am trying to finish the ones that were picked, as many as I can get to, by the end of this year.

November: #18- The Underdogs, by Mariano Azuela
December - #8 - The House by the Medlar Tree, by Giovanni Verga
