My Favorite Books of the Month:



Favorite Audio:
South of the Buttonwood Tree by Heather Webber - This is the 2nd book by this author that I've read and I've really loved them both.  


Favorite Read:  
Mistletoe and Murder by Connie Berry - This was one of those reads that was just the right book at the right time.  I loved the characters, the mystery, and the setting and it was just a joy to read.

Least Favorite Read:
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James - I'm glad I read this one but Henry James' writing style and I are definitely not friends.


My Bookish Travel for October:


Domestic (Armchair) Travel:

I visited Idaho and my home state of Alabama for the first time this month.  I also went to Massachusetts, Washington, Connecticut, Virginia, New Hampshire, Texas, Ohio, Arizona, and North Carolina.

International (Armchair) Travel:

As always I visited England a few times but I also went to Italy, St. Kitts, and France

    You had a great month! I like some of Henry James novels, but The Turn of the Screw is not one of them.

    I have South of the Buttonwood Tree on my TBR list! Glad to know you liked it. And I do love Henry James...but I do not like Turn of the Screw. His other books are better.

    Well you certainly travelled around in your read this month. Happy to see the Heather Webber got top audio billing.

    I am glad you had a good reading month. South of the Buttonwood Tree sounds really good. And I bet I'd love Mistletoe and Murder too! I haven't read Turn of the Screw in years. It's stayed with me. Definitely not a favorite of mine either. Haha. I hope you have a great reading month in November!
