The State of the Bookcase | October ‘09 reading wrap-up

October was an average reading month. I read 11 books, DNFd 3 totaling 4,059 pages. Review books are listed first followed by personal selections. Clicking on a book cover will take you to Amazon US.

    11 books in a month is average? For me that would be a fantastic month! Have you reviewed Across the Endless River ( I still have read/review this one)?

  • Marcia says:

    I’m able to read so much because I have lots of down time when I’m not at work as its just Jim and I at home with no time demands. I also manage to squeeze in some reading time on my weekend work shifts.

    I have read/reviewed Across the Endless River. I very much enjoyed the story.

    I have The Memorist with me, looking forward to your review of it!
