Wrapping up October with Children of Memoryby Adrian Tchaikovsky.As for the mini-challenge, I have 2 options for “Has a graveyard scene” and can probably find something for “It was a dark & stormy night”.
I'm finishing up October with The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I did all 3 mini-challenges and am looking forward to whatever's in store for November
I did all three mini-challenges, and am finishing the month with Cold Days by Jim Butcher, number 14 in the Harry Dresden series.
The Only Purple House in Town by Ann Aguirre.
I just finished The Girl Who Played with Fire for the main challenge (published posthumously) and then started on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer for the mini challenge prompt of has a graveyard scene,
I am finishing up Shark Heart. Strange premise, but a very fast read since some pages only have a sentence or two.
I am finishing October with 2 books of ghost stories, En hodeløs historie og andre grøss - spøkelseshistorier fra mange land by Cecilia Mörner and
Den store spøkelsesboka by Tom Egeland, and a book of horror short stories for teens,
Grøss - noveller for ungdom by T.M. Hetland and 17 more Norwegian authors.
I am wrapping up The Art of War. Looking forward to handing off this copy to my Navy friend Marshall when I'm done.
I am wrapping up the month with Britney Spears' memoir
I’m in the middle of The Mountains Wild by Sarah Stewart Taylor. It is my “set in Dublin” book
I'm 90% into an audiobook by Iain Banks, character- and relationship-driven rather than plot---it reads more like a play to me, as it's primarily dialogue, and might even remind of the two works from the Angry Young British Men literature movement.
I am finishing the month with Murder Under a Red Moon by Harini Nagendra.
I am still working on the mini challenges for September AND October...
Finished the mini challenge with Howl's Moving Castle for steampunk. I also finished Killers of the Flower Moon (graveyard) as October closed
My last book of the month was Raven Leilani's Luster.All I'll say about it is that I'm burning out out on novels where most of the characters are detestable.
