It’s taken me several hours, but I have finally got all my reading posts for the year sorted out and up to date. I was trying to reuse the layout of an earlier month in Live Writer when I updated and I’ve finally worked out that doing it that way meant I actually overwrote the earlier post. I now know that I need to start a new post and copy and paste instead.
Then I had where my reading challenge lists and my monthly lists didn’t match up. Now they do. I realise this doesn’t bother anyone on the entire planet except me, but since this is my blog, I needed to get it all fixed.
So finally, here’s my measly reading stats for October.

I also really enjoyed Harrowing the Dragon when I read it. I love how she weaves music into her writing so that you can almost *feel* its power (is what I remember from it most!)
I did see your tweet about The Changeover, and I have to admit it inspired me to get it out of the library. It was one of my favourite books when I was younger, but I'll admit I wasn't as easy to scare then as I am now so I'm curious to see how I like it now!
So, what did you think of Angels' Judgement. Oh, and if you've finished it I guess I better get the library book off you :)
And YAH for getting everything sorted!
I get needing to be organised, just for you! :) I haven't read any of these, but I hope you enjoyed them!
