I love Gravity Falls! And that sweater is perfect! What a great costume!

Burntown looks awesome. And your road narrative project sounds really interesting!

My daughter is also carving Gravity Falls themed pumpkins. Burntown is a quick read. I loved the first two thirds but the ending wasn't as exciting as the beginning.

Ooh Tintin- I always enjoy those. :)

I picked that particular one because Steed was reading it in a Kathy Gale episode of Avengers. Since it was one I hadn't read, I just had to.

That's a lot of books in one week!

You have some good looking books on your list. I loved Still Missing. See what I read this month. Girl Who Reads

Most people seem to have enjoyed Still Missing. I was expecting to, but it wasn't for me.

I love Chevy Stevens, so Still Missing was one I enjoyed.

Have a great week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

I did not like Still Missing. I don't know if I will try more of her books.

Nice variety of books. I have liked all of Jim Butchers's books and have enjoyed that series by Vicki Delany. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

I am about half way through Small Favors. I like the series best when I listen to Jim Marsters perform it.

Aj @ Read All The Things!

Ooh, you’re reading No Fixed Address! I’ve heard good things about that one and really want to read it.

Comment #14: Monday, October 29, 2018 at 20:06:00

Pussreboots

I just finished No Fixed Address. It's very good. It's rather like Q & A by Vikas Swarup but set in Vancouver and written for a middle grade audience.

I have Lousiana’s Way Home. I need to read it before I meet Kate DiCamillo in November. Was it good?

Comment #16: Monday, October 29, 2018 at 20:22:00

Pussreboots

Yes. I'm assuming you've also read Raymie Nightingale. This one is a follow up — though not a true sequel. Anyway, it's very good and very had to put down once you start. Be prepared to cry.

Calgary too has a new library opening in the downtown core November 1st. It looks beautiful and huge. It'll be quite fantastic to visit.

Your library is beautiful. Here's a report about ours.

oh I'll bet the new library will be awesome?

Chasing Helicity looks fun. :)

It will be awesome. Chasing Helicity was okay but I prefer 14 Hollow Road by Jenn Bishop (2017)
