October Wrap-Up / November TBR

October:


  • The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
  • Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon
  • Dark Currents (Agent of Hel #1) by Jacqueline Carey
  • Grave Peril (Dresden Files #3) by Jim Butcher
  • Coraline: The Graphic Novel by Neil Gaiman
  • The Mark of Athena (Heroes of Olympus #3) by Rick Riordan
  • The House of Hades (Heroes of Olympus #4) by Rick Riordan
I ended up reading The Legend of Sleep Hollow because of the new TV show, which you need to watch. I mean, read the short story, it's good, but the TV show is just really good guys. I have no excuse for the second book except it was on my Kindle (I don't remember why) and it was four am and I couldn't sleep and then I just wanted to know how it ended, even if I kind of wanted to rip my eyes out.

Dark Currents was a fantastic book, I've barely started the second one but I am really loving this series so far and I've realized how much I adore this author. Also, House of Hades. I mean holy cheerleader batman, I mean seriously. The Blood of Olympus is probably my most anticpated book of next year, I just - I want to know what happens, I hope it's really long and I want a Nico point of view chapter (or I will riot, not really, but I want to see in his head so badly).

Wow, I rambled, I guess I'm in the writing mood (which is definitely good), so I will probably not see you until December.


November:
Yeah, I'm not going to be reading at all. I'm doing NaNoWriMo and that's kind of it, and I'm overachieving in it. (Writing more then the 50,000 words, my goal is 300/350k. Yes, I am crazy, don't even ask).

So I'm not really not going to get ay books read, kind of sadly, but - the first week of December I will probably just read that first week and can hopefully get some books read and finished (especially ones I'm currently reading for the New Year. Gah. New Year. How the hell did it get to being almost 2014?)

If you want to follow my NaNoWriMo progress and laugh at my wrist pain. NaNo profile, Twitter.
