Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA		7 Books read this month:

Altered Carbon - Richard K Morgan - 4 stars - 12 Awards/Book of 1s
Exquisite Corpse - Poppy Z Brite - 5 stars - LGBT/ 2nd Best
Feed - Mira Grant - 4 stars - Creature Feature
Leviathan Wakes - James SA Corey - 3 stars - 1s
New Amsterdam - Elizabeth Bear - 1 star - WoG/ENoun/Creature/1s
The Bone Clocks - David Mitchell - 5 stars - End of the World
The Immortals - James Gunn - 4 stars - GrandMaster

The Bone Clocks made me weep uncontrollably. Exquisite Corpse is the most terrifying book I've read in ages. And Feed was a lot more exciting than I'd though it'd be. And, ewwwww...New Amsterdam was terribly disappointing.

I'm now signed up for 15 challenges, but have a lot of overlap.

The tally so far:
I Just HAVE: 12/12
GrandMaster: 12/12
LGBT: 11/12
MasterWorkds 12/12
WoGF: 12/12
2nd Best: 11/12
Fantasia: 12/12
Elizabeth Noun: 3/3
12 Awards: 9/12
The Number...3: 5/9
Read It Again, Sam: 0/6
End of the World: 11/12
Creature Feature: 6/6
Book of 1s: 10/12
Read the Sequel: 8/12

I'm now reading the gigantic "The Dark Defiles" by Richard K Morgan, which will take about 2 weeks I think. So Oct. will probably be less productive numbers-wise, though not page-count-wise. I think I only have 9 total books left to finish all my challenges, except for Read it Again, Sam, which goes to next year.

Good luck everyone!
