Chatterbox: Blab About Books
Book Count: October 2011
This is starting...
This is starting late but deal with it! We kind of left August to die.
For those who are thinking--what in the world is Lizardbreath talking about--here you go. Book count is where you try to read as many books as possible in a month. Whenever you finish a book you post its name, author, when you started/finished it and (optional) what it's about. So now you know, any questions please contact moi. Otherwise ready, set READ!

If we started a book in September and finish it in October can we post it? or not?

If it was the last few pages or something, then no, but if you are halfway (or so) through then sure. :)

Well then I can count The Sorceress (By Michael Scott). I started it September....(sorry I don't remember the exact day!)..25th or 26th I think. And finished it Monday, October 3. Usually I don't take more than a week to read a book....this one took a long time.

DId anyone else read The Son Of Neptune????????
I haven't yet. Well I did start it, but I am giving it to my friend tomorrow as a birthday present and the other one I got is in D.C. with my sister.
I have not finished any books this month, but hope to soon. I did read about 6 to 10 last month though.
Happy reading.

Mustang Moon by Terri Farley
Moonrise by Terri Farley
I think I read and finished them in the past four days, but I am not sure.

-The Fellowship of the Ring (JRR Tolkien, duh!) Finished Oct. 6. Very difficult to read, but definitely worth it. I'm going to read The Two Towers later, but we have to read a certain number of books in English so I'm doing a shorter one.
-The Color of Magic (Terry Pratchett) Finished Oct. 11. AMAZING BOOK!! I'm reading the next one now, and expect to finish it in a few days.
P.S. Spammy says "trax". Tracks? Maybe Spammy is hunting something. :)
