October is one of my most favorite months of the year.  I love the changing foilage, the colder nights, and the comfortable sense that reading gives me.  It is so nice to sit in my reading chair with a lap blanket and a good book.  In the month of October, I am planning to read the following  books:

1.  Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro (Writers of Color Book Club on GoodReads October Pick) /3 stars

2.  Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

3.  The Moviegoer by Walker Percy (Estella's Revenge Classics Club

4.  The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri

5.  Stoner by John Williams

6.  Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

7.  Winter Morning Walks: one hundred postcards to Jim Harrison by Ted Kooser
