Comments for October in Review

October in Review: 10/31/09

After some exchanges with friends and readers via Twitter I decided to return to posting two reviews on most days. Since I started this new procedure late in the month, I only posted 36 reviews. November is National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo) so I will probably cut back to posting one review a day instead of two on days when I am busy writing.

My favorite book in October is Wild Wood by Charles de Lint.
