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
Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books wants to know what we're reading. I'm only too happy to oblige!
The past week hasn't been great reading-wise. Blame it on the Fall shows, especially Vampire Diaries and Glee. Plus, I'm planning to add Person of Interest (Ben Linus, how I've missed you!) and Whitney.

Books on my nightstand
Two of the books on my nightstand are the same from last week - both are fabulous, and I'm hoping to finish them by middle of this week.
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami: This is my first read (Ti's recommendation) for my Blogger Recommends feature. I'm only just halfway through this massive book, which is why it's taking me so long to read it but I just love it so much and can't wait to talk about it!.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley: This is the other book I chose to read for this year's Banned Books Week. I found the first couple of pages of this book very hard to read, but after that, it has been an almost-smooth reading. It's pretty disturbing both in theme and in the writing - I could easily call it a Halloween read as well, even though it isn't really horror (or is it).
