October 2011 Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started October with 270 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …269! I didn’t get as much read this month as I was hoping, mostly because The Way of Kings was a big ol’ chunkster that took me almost 1/3 of the month to read. But I managed to rack up negative numbers anyways, which given that I was also sucked in by the lure of the library booksale clearance, is pretty good, I think.

…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Audiobooks – Goliath by Scott Westerfeld
Read but not owned – Flight, Vols. 1 & 2 ed. by Kazu Kibuishi – Wildthorn by Jane Eagland – Heartless by Gail Carriger – Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol – Daisy Kutter: The Last Train by Kazu Kibuishi
E-books and Short Stories – Blameless by Gail Carriger*
Re-Reads – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling – The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold

Changes to the TBR pile

Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – Sleight of Hand by Peter S. Beagle – The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson – Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook by Anthony Bourdain – The Starry Rift ed. by Jonathan Strahan – The Technologists by Matthew Pearl – Remember Me 2: The Return by Christopher Pike

Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!)

– The Help by Kathryn Stockett	– The Nasty Bits: Collected Varietal Cuts, Usable Trim, Scraps, and Bones by Anthony Bourdain

Non-TBR Acquisitions (storage-space-related shame!)
