Another month comes to a close. Between last month's nightstand post and this month's I read four books, three of which were on my nightstand when I posted in September, the rest... well I either gave up on them or they are still sitting there waiting to be read at some point in the future. Those I did finish included:
- They Came to Baghdad by Agatha Christie
- Tramp for the Lord by Corie ten Boom
- Mrs. McGinty's Dead by Agatha Christie
- What Cabrillo Found by Maud Hart Lovelace
And as if this wasn't enough for a part-time working mother who is also 8 months pregnant, I also coordinated the 3rd annual Maud Hart Lovelace Reading Challenge, which will come to a close in less than a week.
Yes, October has been a very full month... And I am definitely ready for a break.
During the month of November I have very little expectations for myself when it comes to reading and blogging. I'd like to catch up on some of my overdue book reviews, but I am hesitant to make any promises.
November will mark the last book club meeting for 2011 where we are to discuss George MacDonald's Phantastes. I have requested the book through ILL and hope to have it finished in time.
Otherwise I am keeping my reading to very light-easy reads with no definite plans. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what I read and when I read between now and when the baby arrives.
As for you... what are you reading this month? Leave me a comment or head over to 5 Minutes for Books and link up your own October nightstand post.
Happy reading!

Yeah, you're just a little busy. =)
light and easy can be a nice break! Sounds like a good idea!
October is the busiest month of the year for me! I'm looking forward to some quieter times myself, though not for the same reason you are, I expect. :)

I think I read Tramp for the Lord some years ago. Love reading Corrie ten Boom.
Sounds like you've been busy! I hope you're able to find some relaxing reading time in November. :) Good luck with the new baby!
