Just finished reading Night Will Find You by Julia Heaberlin, and I enjoyed it. If you're curious as to why, check out Rachel's awesome review of it, which is the reason I decided to read this one in the first place.
Here are the books I checked out of the library and am hoping to read in November:
(I also have several Christmas-y romances on hold, but who knows when they'll all come in.)
Battle For the Big Top by Les Standiford
Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident by Donnie Eichar
Watch Her Disappear by Lisa Regan
Spring Girls by Karen Katchur
Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa
Dark Ambitions by Irene Hannon
NPCs by Drew Hayes
Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Ellie Cosimano
All Shall Be Well by Deborah Crombie
Once Upon a Tome: The Misadventures of a Rare Bookseller by Oliver Darkshire
I've also been binge-watching the first season of Grimm and watching The Amazing Race!
(Both shows are favorites of mine.)
And here's my quote for the month:
Happy Reading!
We watched all of Grimm one winter several years ago. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThe characters are so great! I love their interactions, and the humor, and the fairy tale like magic in it. :D
DeleteHi there, Lark! I'm finally getting back around to commenting on blogs and also hope to update mine soon. Anyway, we enjoyed Grimm several years ago. Loved the setting! The only book from your 'check-out' list I've read is the Deborah Crombie book. I love that series. Waiting for the next book. Also agree with the 'grateful for everything' cartoon. Take care!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of books in Crombie's series to catch up on, but I'm enjoying the characters a lot. :D
DeleteI'm excited for the new Heaberlin book. I really liked her last one. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI love the Peanuts quote. Gratitude is so important! I'm glad we have at least one month in the year when everyone focuses on being thankful for what we have.
It is good that we take one month out of the year to focus on being thankful for our blessings. The world would be a much better place if we all did that more often.
DeleteDead Mountain sounds intriguing! I've got several popular books on hold that should be coming through this month. Lessons in Chemistry, Tom Lake, and Steven King's latest should all be on tap soon. I also was just sent John Grisham's followup to The Firm, so I'm eager to dive into that one too!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about both Lessons in Chemistry and Tom Lake. And I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Grisham's followup to The Firm. I loved that book when it came out. :D
DeleteLove the quote. It's very appropriate for this month and every month.
ReplyDeleteI need to do a better job at being grateful in my life instead of always focusing on the negative things first.
DeleteI miss Grimm so much, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's been so fun to delve back into the world of Grimm! I'm glad they made more than one season of it.
DeleteMy Friday morning coffee group always try to put aside 15 minutes for "Good News Friday" conversation. I regret to admit that sometimes lately we've struggle to find five minutes worth...maybe I'll bring this meme along tomorrow morning. :-)
ReplyDeleteFinding good news these days can be tricky, but I can usually find something to be grateful for...like electricity and garbage trucks if nothing else. ;D
DeleteGrimm is so good, I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying Grimm! I'd forgotten how good a show it is.
DeleteSo happy to hear you enjoyed Night Will Find You! Thanks for the shout out. :) Love that quote, too!
ReplyDeleteThat book was really good. I kind of wish she'd write another one with those same characters.
DeleteGreat quote. I can never get enough Peanuts!
ReplyDeleteSnoopy is my favorite! :D
DeleteLOL, I should totally link to someone else's review some time!! I love your quote, Snoopy is the best! I was just thinking today that I should start putting some Christmas books on hold at the library. I am REALLY trying to finish all my ARCs and books for my challenges THIS month so I can mood read the rest of the year with no deadlines.
ReplyDeleteI've got my Christmas romances trickling in...you have to get them put on hold early with my library system before they're all checked out until after January. ;D
DeleteI'm planning to read Days at the Morisaki Bookshop in January. Can't wait to read your thoughts on it.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun November reading! ;)
Thank you! I'm hoping all of these books turn out to be good reads. Especially Days at the Morisaki Bookshop!
DeleteI loved Grimm. Need to do a rewatch soon.
ReplyDeleteGrimm is certainly a lot of fun to watch. I'm almost done with season 1.
DeleteGrimm was so good! I was sad when it ended.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying watching this first season again, but I'll be sad when I finish it up.
DeleteNice cover.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you think of Morisaki Bookshop. I really enjoyed it. It was short and I wanted more! Another one a blogger recently rec'd me is The Tokyo Bicycle Bakery- haven't read it yet though...
I will have to check out the Heaberlin book. I've enjoyed her books in the past. Grimm is a fun show. I will have to re-watch that at some point. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteNight Will Find You sounds good to me! Have fun reading those library books! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Deborah Crombie series and Finlay Donovan is on my TBR. I do love a good library wander. I did one a few days ago and apparently my tastes are running towards thrillers right now though I am getting ready for some of the Christmas romances!
