October in books

Woah! Can you believe that I read 10 books in October? It's as though my brain wanted to make up for the abysmal 2 in September. Even though I was working, I somehow managed to be a reading fiend! I accredit this literary gluttony to ensuring that I always had at least 4 books from the library sitting on my night-table, so I was never waiting around for another trip to the candy store for the brain.

Anyway. Here we go. I hope I actually remember enough about all of them to write coherently.
