Last year on election day in Chicago it was about 80 degrees. People went downtown for the Obama rally in short sleeves. This year, in early October we have a freeze warning and most of the 10-day forecast has highs of below 50 degrees. We’ve gone from unseasonably warm to unseasonably cold. Hopefully that will inspire me to some good reading.
I had a decent reading week last week, even though one book took me a good 4 days. Here’s what I finished since my last Salon:
(audio)
I have three giveaways going on right now. The “Tudor Rose” is only going on through Tuesday, although the other two go past the next Salon. Images link through to the contests.
In addition to all the giveaways, I posted four book three book reviews
a guest post from Diane Haeger (author of “The Queen’s Mistake”), a Teaser Tuesday, and some Library Loot.
How was your week?
I bet Never Let Me Go was great in audiobook. I read it a few years ago.

I really need to read the Dashner. It sounds so good! For that matter, I need to read The Ghost Brigades. It is on my TBR pile!
I need to read more Kephart!
I will be extremely interested in your viewpoint of Never Let Me Go on audio. I read the hard book, and loved it, in a creepy sad way, but not everyone did.

LOL, gotta love the fickle weather of the Great Lakes.
You had a good week Jen. We’ve got snow already -unbelievable. Usually we don’t get it quite this early. We went from the end of summer into winter -pretty much skipped Fall this year. lol.
I am one of the ones who loved Never Let Me Go! So haunting…

Yep–even in the midwest, it’s much too early for temps this cold. We had 5″ of snow last Saturday; a new record. Which kind of screwed our plans to go to the apple orchard!
Can’t wait for your review of “Undercover” — I want to know if it lived up to “Nothing But Ghosts!” (Even though it was first…yeah, it kind of makes sense.)
