Still so much to read, although I think this is lighter than last month. But I have a beta read and an ARC to get to before this gets any smaller.

The Book of the Month is going to be Cristina Henríquez’ The Book of Unknown Americans, with Denise Giardina’s The Unquiet Earth and Dorothy Allison’s Bastard out of Carolina in close competition.

Happy Halloween! With Puerto Rico and Nebraska represented on the shelf there, I only have four states– Arkansas, South Dakota, Nevada and Wyoming– left to find books from. I’m going to try to wrap the states up in November and then I can go back to countries for the rest of the year.

Book of the Month is… man, a really difficult choice this month, as there were a lot of really solid reads but no major standout. Ask me on a different day and I might tell you The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu, Island Beneath the Sea (usually books I’ve not finished are ineligible, but I’m 30 pages from the end, so whatever,) or Black Water Sister, but I think this month’s winner is Nightbitch, for sheer staying power if nothing else.

Seriously, there are four books on here that have been there since June. That’s not okay. Must read faster.

I am too tired to brain

…which is sort of turning into a theme for Thursdays, I think. IN lieu of a post, please accept this picture of a kitten.

It will surprise no one to learn that the Book of the Month is Fonda Lee’s Jade Legacy, but if I limit myself to books that are actually available to the general public, I’ll go with Vita Nostra.
