2014 Reading List: October

I'm sure I read more last month, but since I can't figure out what, life goes on. That said, I'm sure I've read Death Comes to Pemberly at some point in the last year or so, but I can't find that either. Meh. I work full time+ now, so I don't have as much time to read these days. Bit sad, but at least I still read plenty.

OCTOBER

34. Robopocalypse, by Daniel H. Wilson
33. Jericho, Season 3: Civil War (graphic novel, a continuation of the TV show)

SEPTEMBER

32. The Birth of Venus, by Sarah Dunant (for reading group)
31. The Clairvoyant Countess, by Dorothy Gilman
30. Anita and Me, by Meera Syal (for reading group. The lack of these was due to problems getting copies of anything for the group. Also, I was late finishing this one)
29.  An Acceptable Time, by Madeleine L'Engle (fifth written of the Time Quintet)

AUGUST

*28. Many Waters, by Madeleine L'Engle (fourth written of the Time Quintet)
*27. A Swiftly Tilting Planet, by Madeleine L'Engle (third written of the Time Quintet)
26. Serenity: The Shepherd's Tale, by Joss Whedon, Zack Whedon, and Chris Samnee (graphic novel)
Elmer and the Hippos, by David McKee (since it's a kid's book and took 5 minutes, doesn't count)
*25. A Wind in the Door, by Madeleine L'Engle (second written of the Time Quintet)
*24. A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle (first written of the Time Quintet)

JULY

23. Broken Homes, by Ben Aaronovitch (Peter Grant Series #4)
22. The Kill Order, by James Dashner (The Maze Runner Trilogy prequel. Do not read this.)
21. Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow (you should read this. It's an interesting successor to its namesake, Orwell's 1984)

JUNE

20. Redshirts: A Novel with Three Codas, by John Scalzi
19. The Cuckoo's Calling, by Robert Galbraith (pen name for J. K. Rowling)
