I kept forgetting to post this, and then I was ill. But better late than never, right? In that spirit, it's time for the continuing adventures of Liz and her reading list! These are the books I read in October 2009. (Click on the cuts for summaries and reactions. I reserve the right to spoil all hell out of any book if spoilery bits are what I feel like talking about.)

---------------

On a vaguely related note, I survived two days of work while still ill and recovering from being more ill. Wednesday I have off, thank goodness, and I plan to sleep a lot.

Now I am off to drink more juice. (I think I have single-handedly been keeping the US cranberry juice industry afloat these past few days... And no, Europeans, that does not mean I have a UTI. In America, we drink cranberry juice because it tastes good, not just because it's medicinal. *grin*)
