Fearless or reckless?

Another one for the spooky season.

It's that time of year!

My IRL book club's Oct pick.

This is my IRL boo club's Sep choice. We meet on the 21st, so I need to get crackin!!

I actually started this in May with a goal to finish before the end of the year, but I set it aside while I concentrated on my summer TBR challenge. I've set this at my bedside hoping I can read 20 or so pages before turning out the light. I remember really enjoying BTB books as a YA. I'm not finding that same feeling at this point.

My trip to Dinosaur National Monument and Echo Park got tanked. Maybe next year? In the meantime, I thought I would read a little more about it. First up this 1955 peek of the area and a major controversy that was ongoing at that time.

I had set this aside while I read another book.

Oh Eustacia, you only think of yourself!! Clym needs to let her go. I know Hardy doesn't write any happy endings so I wonder how all this will end.

Needed to get started on my IRL book club's Aug selection, as our discussion date is in a week. Based on these first 50+ pages, I think it will be a relatively quick read.

Next up on deck for the summer TBR challenge.

This has been in a bag of books someone gave to me quite a number of years ago. I made this part of my TBR challenge for the summer. But I'm not sure its a story I look forward to.

This is moving a little slower for me than I anticipated.
