October Review and November Preview



October was a slow month for reading and I'm not quite sure why.  It seems like the weather and waning daylight would be more conducive to crawling into bed with a book early each evening.  But, instead the days seem to be flying by with too many activities on the calendar and obligations to tend to before the holidays and the year get away from me.  But, while I haven't been reading that many books, I have certainly been buying and borrowing them, so there is so much to choose from and I'm looking forward to find time here and there in the next month to sneak more reading in!
