November List

In all reality I only read 4 books last month, yet somehow it ended up feeling like a very successful month which I suppose is the importan thing. The point of the pre-randomized order is to get through the list even if it means I'm dropping something, but I haven't really figured out what to do with the new books each month. One kind of logic suggets that I should just tack them on at the end of the list. It makes sense but it's not a lot of fun. This month I decided to move everything on the old list up and then insert the new books into the list by rolling for their positions. I don't know if I love it, but it's what we are doing this time. 

Last month's reading had no bad reads. Everything was good... or at least fun. My favorite was A Market of Dreams and Destiny but the other three were all good. I'm also proud of myself for getting more book reviews on the blog. I'm going to try hard this month to keep it all going.
