The colors for the October 2023 color challenge are orange or black or red. Looking forward to seeing your picks!

I'm ready for this one! I have 2 books for my bookclubs this month that qualify. and

I am planning to read:

this one for me: - √ read 10/14/23

At the beginning of the year I list out 10 or 12 books for each month. Over the course of the year I end up reading some of them early for unrelated challenges, and I just knock them off the list without replacing them. As a result, I only have three books left for October, so I guess I'll try to read all three!

I am reading and

Here's my picks:

I'm picking this one - covers ALL colors in the challenge!

You are a monument to efficiency, Lance! :)

I'm hoping to read these three.

Adult Assembly Required -- the title alone describes my work life, LOL.

I may not finish in time but I've wanted to read this for years and just never tackled it.

fits here as well as for my lib. book club! Love when that happens.

I like that kind of synchronicity too, Rhonda!

Finished Then she was Gone. I liked it, but it was pretty sad and dark.

Finished , gave it 5 stars. Such a good book, just wished I had read it sooner.

Just finished a book that I did not plan to read for this month, but fits the color:

Finished my 1st pick - . 4 stars.
A solid followup to the first book in the series. Karin Slaughter is always a fantastic writer. A great story!

Finished my "orange" cover for October:

Just finished 5 stars

Finished my 2nd book - . 3 stars

I love John Grisham and this is a good story. It just didn't grab my attention as strongly as i would have liked.

I felt the same way about that one, Lindsey.

Finished a "bonus" book for October:

I love when that happens. Good show Joy!

Finished . I set it aside and didn't think I would pick it back up. The main character got on my nerves and I wanted to shake her to make her deal with reality. 2 stars for me bc I did like the twist in the middle.

It was one of my lowest rated Picoult Books, though I liked the end -


"A favorite author, but this one didn't really work for me. I had no interest in the first half (Galapagos Island) stuff/story nor the NYC Art (Yoko/John Lennon?) tie in. I really liked Finn's e-mails and the last third of the book (a Covid Survivor's story.)

Finished mine, Black Ball: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Spencer Haywood, and the Generation that Saved the Soul of the NBA . Enjoyed it. My review: http://sportsbookguy.blogspot.com/202...
