Here is what I hope to accomplish in October:

Read a total of 12 books or more.
2 eBooks
1-2 Non-fiction

  1. Great month! We really do have similar tastes-we both read the same book and a ton of the other books you read are on my TBR!

    2. Ganise, most definitely a Julie Lessman fan!! I've read all of the Daughters of Boston series and all of The Winds of Change series. I'm currently reading A Light in the Window which is the prequel and the story of Marcy and Patrick. Julie Lessman is interviewed on Casey's blog "Writing For Christ" today. Go check it out :)
