Happy Fall, Fellow Essential Book Members!!!
October is one of my favorite months of the year so I'm sad it's almost over- I've got mums adorning my dock and my pumpkins are carved, and I'm reading inside the house while the temperature drops outside. Reading is such a cozy diversion. October, as you know, is also National Reading Group Month So celebrate the joy of reading and tell me in your comments below what book/s you are enjoying.

and when I'm finished with these . . .

I like to read 2 - 3 books at one time.
Books I frequently flip through are scrapbooking books/magazines; What To Expect the Toddler Years--mostly for meal guides (and two other parenting books); new cookbooks for recipes and meal ideas; and arts & crafts books for toddlers and preschoolers for my two year old class.
I just finished A Silent Ocean Away: Colette's Dominion by DeVa Gantt (thanks Gather!) and started What Helped Get Me Through by Julie Silver (thanks again Gather!)
I should be reading sources for my principles of banking paper...but that's another story, LOL!
I'm reading: The Nag Hammadi Scriptures (Edited by Marvin Meyer) and The Nag Hammadi Library by James M. Robinson ~ among some other books.

The Given Day is his latest book, new this month. It's quite a departure from Lehane's other books. This is historical fiction; his others are thrillers but far better than most thrillers. I read anything he wrote.
Darkness, Take My Hand is one of Lehane's older books that I haven't read yet. It was written more than 10 years ago and in his style that I'm used to. It's a short book, and I read it in a couple days, unlike The Given day, which is quite long (and heavy in hard back).
