Looking ahead to November.........October was full on with RIP and Gothic events but I returned from our short break midway through the month knowing I had had enough which means I only made it half-way through The Mysteries of Udolpho and the M.R.James short stories. I realised that for the last 5 months events and readalongs have directed much of my reading and as much as I enjoy it I now want a couple of months free from any commitments. To read where the mood takes me! And after this last lazy blogging week I also have posts to catch up with.
Have a wonderful November!
East of Eden is one of my favorite books ever!
ReplyDeleteI'm still reading Dracula. It will take me forever to finish I'm afraid.
PS Happy November reading!
DeleteFor some reason I didn't think I'd like John Steinbeck but I loved East of Eden and it's now a favourite of mine too. Good luck with Dracula - I really enjoyed that one too.
DeleteCongratulations on finishing Clarissa - that is quite an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your commitment free November. I think I am going to have one of those myself.
I do feel a sense of achievement at finishing Clarissa but I never would have done it without the readalong. Very glad to see the end of it!
DeleteHey Cat :-) I didn't do well in October, but I did read Dracula which I loved. I just finished The Winter Sea that I started once before and it was so good! I know you read that one and I got so lost in it. It was great. You know with loving all the family history stuff, it made it the perfect read. I haven't been doing well with my blogging, but I wanted to say hello and see what you have been reading!
ReplyDeleteHi Missy - hope all is well with you. Glad you loved Dracula - I did too and The Winter Sea, of course. Thanks for dropping by as I've missed your visits. :-)
