Gah, October? Where did the year go? I'm suddenly realizing we are entering the busiest season of the year and there's going to be tons to do for the next three months. It is unseasonably warmer right now, which makes it harder to believe that it's October. The colors have started changing but it's almost like the trees don't care and aren't even trying to put up a show. Renovation updates At this point, we have completed two weeks in our house while under renovation. Yes, it's every bit as irritating, annoying, frustrating, dusty, and allergy-triggering as they say a renovation can be. But it's also oddly fascinating seeing your house ripped down to the subfloor and peeking inside walls at the things that are typically hidden inside one. It was also satisfying seeing progress made - there's a wall one day, no wall the next day, and then all openings patched up the third day. This coming week is going to see the most progress - the hardwood flooring
This meme was originally hosted by Marcia @ The Printed Page. It went on tour beginning August '10 and is hosted this month by Bermudaonion's Weblog. It is the gathering
place for readers to share the books
that came into their house last week (checked out library books don’t
count, eBooks & audio books do).
Being the die-hard fan of the Sophie Kinsella's books that I am (probably the only chick-lit I read), I had to buy this book when I walked into a bookstore last week. I had already read the first book, and although I have read better books by her, I wouldn't dream of passing up on any of her books. So the second book of the Shopaholic series - Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, found its way into my cart. Any Sophie Kinsella fans out there?
Kings of the Earth by Jon Clinch came to me from BookTrib. I entered a giveaway of this book, because the description sounded very interesting. Kings of the Earth has an interesting set of characters, and this one looks to be worth checking out. Anyone read this one or Jon Clinch's other book - Finn?
A Scattered Life by Karen McQuestion came to me unsolicited from Goldberg McDuffie Communications. I have not much idea about this one, nor have I seen it yet on other blogs. So it could be a while before I pick this one up to read. It does have an interesting surmise though, but I'm not sure if the book is for me yet.
Since I've spoken about this book all week, I'm going to keep this short. I bought The Game On! Diet by Krista Vernoff and Az Ferguson on my nook soon after starting this game. Talk about short notice!Have you read any of these books?

Another blogger told me that Finn is good but very dark.
I look forward to your review.
