Welcome to October, my most favorite month of the entire year, for it ushers in Autumn which I
dearly love. This month, I will be reading six books.
CLASSICAL LITERATURE: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. In September, I read Jasper Fforde's
The Eyre Affair which whetted my appetite to read this overlooked piece of classical literature.
HISTORICAL FICTION: Russka by Edward Rutherfurd. I am reading this as a precursor to Glenn Meade's The Romanov Conspiracy. Russian history fascinates me; especially, the history of the Tsars.
CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE: The Romanov Conspiracy by Glenn Meade. I stumbled upon this in the new book section of the public library.
SCIENCE FICTION/FANTASY: The Initiate Brother by Sean Russell. This was recommended to me by a Canadian friend. I am really looking forward to it because it combines fantasy with Asian themes!
MYSTERY: The Murder at the Vicarage by Dame Agatha Christie. In my early teens, I was a huge Agatha Christie fan, probably due to my facsination with Murder She Wrote. The Murder at the Vicarage is the novel which introduces Miss Jane Marple.
REVIEW COPY: The Fourth Fisherman by Joe Kissack. This book was provided as a free, review copy from WaterBrook Press
