The books of October were almost all re-reads of Donna Leon’s Commissario Brunetti series. I’d fallen behind on reading the series after Grandmom died, so I decided to go back to the start and re-read straight through.<\/p>\n
I did have one audio book–Faith Hunters Raven Cursed<\/em>, from her Jane Yellowrock series, which I am thoroughly enjoying as audio books. I actually have the last Jane book waiting for me–I started it, saw the character that looked to be involved, and decided I wasn’t in the mood for that and put it back down. (I have an embarrassing number of new releases waiting for me.)<\/p>\n I also re-read Patricia Wrede’s A Matter of Magic<\/em> which is a YA Historical Fantasy that I really enjoyed. That’s probably my big recommendation from this month: if you haven’t read Patricia Wrede, you should change that ASAP. Most of her books are Historical YA fantasy, which means they’re really good fantasy without the boinking. I’ve given her books to some of the larger small people in my life.<\/p>\n Mystery<\/strong> Fantasy, YA<\/strong> Historical Romance<\/strong> Audio<\/strong> As far as stats go, I read 13 books, all but two of which were ebooks, only one of which was not a re-read, and 11 of which I own in multiple formats.<\/p>\n I read 11 mysteries, two fantasies, one romance, and one YA.<\/p>\n And every single book I read in October was written by a female.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The books of October were almost all re-reads of Donna Leon’s Commissario Brunetti series.
