Overall Reflection:
October was a month of ups and downs for me. I'm really lucky to have gotten five books in this month. Three of them are curtsy of the Read-a-Thon earlier this month. After that I kind of fell into a funk. I was supposed to read Faulkner's As I Lay Dying for class but got about 3/4 of the way through and couldn't finish it. I was also having a hard time getting into Nicole Krauss's new novel, Great House. This was really discouraging because I'd been looking forward to it for a while. I was in a reading slump for most of the month, but rediscovered crocheting and made several hats and my dad a blanket for his birthday.
So really out of the entire month I was only actively reading for about 10 days of it. I'm finally out of my slump. I read Carol Goodman's The Lake of Dead Languages over Halloween weekend, and got a few books at Barnes and Noble with a gift card I had laying around. I'm ready and excited to start November off on a strong note.
What about you, read any good books this month?

I'm glad you're out of your slump!! I have to read The Lake of Dead Languages soon!
I think we all hit reading slumps now and again. Still, 5 books this month...not too shabby! :)
