November Group Read: Check-in the Third!

[glinda]

Tis the end of the third week of the challenge (sort of, this year November's dates don't fall out particulary well to divide the challenge into neatish weeks when you have check-ins on Fridays) hopefully books are providing all of you with some comfort in these troubled times...

Are we starting to flag a bit or have we triumphs to share? Anyone defeat a book that's been taunting them for long and weary? Share your reading triumphs and disasters in the comments below.

I finished Victory of Eagles by Naomi Novik this week, and I'm now nearly half-way through the next book in the series Tongues of Serpents so I can happily claim to be on target with my books!

This week I've finished Shon the Taken by Tanith Lee which was okay but not great. I also finished up Black Butler Volume 21 a series that I continue to enjoy and Married to a Bedouin by Marguerie van Geldermasen which for some reason seemed to grasp my attention and I fairly flew through it this time (I'd been struggling with it for a while in the sense that when I put it down I felt no compunction to pick it back up again even though it was interesting). That makes seven books finished so far this month.

I'm about halfway through A Discovery of Witches now (my on the bus reading) and also halfway through Grim Tuesday by Garth Nix, next up will be The Shack which I'm not convinced I'm going to get through (I've already started it twice - this is its final attempt). If I get through GT and continue with ADoW and try TS, I'll consider the challenge a success and may then move onto books other than those on the list - possibly - not definitely.

I'm on... 16 books read this month, which is behind, but I blame having three biology assignments due. Whyyy.

I'm in a Sherlock Holmes sort of mood so I'm currently reading A Study in Lavender. I'm on track for my goal even though this November is a busy month for me.
