Welcome to October


I'm reading the beginning of the Cape Charade series by Christina Dodd. Dead Girl Running is book one and I finished it Friday night. Book two is What Doesn't Kill Her. These are romantic thrillers about a woman with an unusual secret, or two. The first book started off okay but kind of got bogged down by too much going on which wasn't handled well. I'm reading the next one because I already had it here, reviews for it were better than the first, and I was curious about where it was going.

Finally listening to Circe by Madeline Miller. I've been on a waiting list for this one for quite some time. "With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world."

What books are you starting October with?
