For October, I had my post written before I left for Oregon and I tried to publish it while I was gone but Blogger would not cooperate! <br /><br />Lit! sounds really interesting, as does the Painted Veil. I look forward to reading your reviews!Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319901329438691914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-10497860565911269062011-10-28T09:12:30.705-07:002011-10-28T09:12:30.705-07:00I thought Susan Meissner sounded familiar.

I've never worried about not having a bomb shelter. A storm shelter, for sure, though! :)<br /><br />I had Lit! on my wishlist, but then saw a review that made me realize it wasn't even close to what I thought it was. I'll be really curious to hear what you think about it, though!Bluerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680170638396181756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-64583306177642013352011-10-26T13:16:09.698-07:002011-10-26T13:16:09.698-07:00Lit is already on my to-read list!

I've read books that have kept me from entering my dreams, but never books that have entered my dreams themselves (thank goodness).

It really is a great book. Churchill's series on WWII sounds fascinating, I'll have to add that to my "some day" list. :) A Sound Among Trees also sounds really intriguing, I loved The Shape of Mercy but haven't read anything else by her.Nancy@5M4Bhttp://lifewithmyboysandbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-73316150652286678582011-10-25T12:09:36.538-07:002011-10-25T12:09:36.538-07:00You are the first female in my acquaintance to att...You are the first female in my acquaintance to attempt Churchill's WWII - most give me "the look" when I mention it. You are right that it is a project. At 5000+ pages, what else could it be?

I can get overly ambitious at times with what I want to read. ;-)<br /><br />And I also know what you mean about books getting into your dreams. When I was reading Bonhoeffer and Unbroken at the same time, my dreams took it on. Not fun.<br /><br />I want to read Lit! also. I keep seeing it pop up and hearing good things about it.

And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one reading books that weren't on my fall list--sigh, I just keep seeing other books I want to read! :) I just finished one of them this weekend--Unbroken--which not only received a raving review from you, but was also on so many fall lists I felt left out! giggle It was. . .wow!!
