Bye-Bye Halloween... Onto Thanksgiving and the Holidays!

I haven't taken a lot of time to read lately... since my husband and I both work in the retail world, we know that November through the beginning of January is pretty much one huge blur with not many days off as a family.  So, October is really a big family-time month for us.  

Me and my little pumpkin ready to Trick-or-Treat!

We had a wonderful Halloween (despite the cold weather) that included a trip to the bookstore, Trick-or-Treating and Everett's first viewing of Hocus Pocus (which he actually watched the majority of!).  We are still reading Halloween books to Everett since he loves them, but I also pulled out Five Silly Turkeys to add to the mix.  Slowly the Halloween books will be replaced with Christmas books!!! :)  I can't wait to share our Christmas favorites... but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves!

I did manage to finish the audio of Louise Penny's A Fatal Grace which is the second book in her Armand Gamache Series.  I liked it just as much as the first :)  The audiobooks are great, and the mysteries have such unique characters that it's easy to get lost in the world of Three Pines.  If you're a mystery reader and haven't discovered Louise Penny yet, be sure to pick up her books!

Now I need a new audiobook for the car.  I might do the third in the Gamache series or pick up the third in the Jim Butcher Dresden Files... however, I'm always up for suggestions.  I even thought about checking out all of the Harry Potter audiobooks from the library and listening to those again... 

What have you been reading or listening to?  Anything you're putting on your Christmas list already?  Hope everyone had a wonderful Monday and is finding some relaxing reading time tonight!  Happy Reading :)
