End of October Wrap-Up

I ended up reading quite a few books off my TBR pile over the last 3 days of this month.  Started off when I woke up early on Thursday morning, and picked up Magnus Chase - which was sitting on the desk near my bed - and by 5:30am I was well and truly engrossed in the world that Rick Riordan had created.

It only took me just over 3½ hours to complete!  So while I got up and finally got my breakfast, I decided to read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.  While not as fabulous as Magnus Chase, I did enjoy this first book in Ransom Rigg's trilogy.

Yesterday was a great book day.  Finally got my books out from local shop.  Had them on hold for a while - oops! - but they are home now, and going on my bookshelves.

However, I didn't make it out of the shop so easily... as I was leaving I found 6 Sookie Stackhouse books on sale ($5 ea) and put them on lay-by for mum as she's really into, and loving, Charlaine Harris at the moment.

Looking at this pic, I can't believe that I had to haul these heavy books home! 

Until next time,
