October Book Update

This year, I'm just going to keep track of books I read as I go through the year - not worrying about how many books I have waiting to be read or anything like that. So each month's roundup will just be a picture collage showing the books I've read, with a running tally for each month. I think I'll break down new (to me) books and re-reading as well. And maybe pick a favourite each month. This could change as the year goes on... Once again, I'll set my goal as 100 books - it's about what I have time for, more or less.

So, in October: new (to me) books read:  4; books re-read: 1

In October, I read:

• Educated by Tara Westover (audiobook), a memoir
• Venetia by Georgette Heyer (re-read, historical romance - was talking about Heyer with a friend which prompted me to re-read)
• finally finished listening to A Tale of Two Cities - it's very long!  I enjoyed it though, it's clever, compelling and quite funny in parts.
• Read Overstory by Richard Powers, which was recommended to me a while back (not quite finished in October, but I'm counting it in anyway)
• Read another in the Charles Todd mystery series about Ian Rutledge (Wings of Fire)
