october country

I have been waiting for this month all year, and I'm celebrating with the start of books and bridles and a new reading challenge. In preparation for NaNoWriMo I'll be spending the next thirty days outlining this year's novel, and reading four novels, one for each week of October (starting today). The current selections are:
+ The October Country (Ray Bradbury)
+ I Capture the Castle (Dodie Smith)
+ The Great Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald), a reread
+ The Last Little Blue Envelope (Maureen Johnson)
