“Monday’s Minutes” is a weekly post in which I track my bookish life.  All book covers are linked to Goodreads unless otherwise noted.

• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling – for the HP re-read.
• The Witching Hour by Anne Rice
• The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury
• Coraline by Neil Gaiman

Finished: The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, which I reviewed on Saturday.  I also finished Bird Box by Josh Malerman.  I’ll try to get the review for it posted before the end of the month.

Challenges:

• RIP X: 8 out of 4
• Show Your Shelves Some Love: 46 out of 51.
• Outdo Yourself: 74 out of 66.
• Netgalley/Edelweiss: 15 out of 50.
• SF/F Bingo: 

Total pages read: 778

Total # of books for the year: 75.  Halloween approaches!  The Boyfriend and I have been watching “Penny Dreadful” and we have plans to finish the 2nd season before Halloween so we can spend the night watching “Hocus Pocus” and other favorites while drinking red wine and eating garlic cheese bombs, popcorn, candy corn, and chocolate frosted pumpkin muffins.  I’ve already got my books picked out for November, but I will be reading them purely for enjoyment whenever I have time outside of schoolwork and job hunting.  Even though I’ve been posting something nearly every day, I already feel like a weight has been lifted.  We’ll see how long that lasts as I move into next month and face down three exams.
