New Books for the Bookshelf

Yep, just like everybody else, and despite the fact I have a healthy sized TBR pile as it is, I couldn’t resist acquiring some more books during September.

I’m going to excuse myself for the last two, as I picked them up at my local Oxfam shop (so I was giving money to a good cause!), and they are both slim enough to be perfect for the upcoming 24 Hour Read-a-Thon, and are by an Italian and a South African author respectively, and will complete the [intlink id="561" type="post"]Orbis Terrarvm Challenge[/intlink] for me! (Well those are my excuses and I’m sticking to them!)

Challenges Update

Where does this months reading leave my challenge lists? Well four of them qualify for uncompleted challenges, with Moonheart clocking up one for the [intlink id="577" type="post"]Mythopoeic Challenge[/intlink] which takes me to 2/7, and The Foreshadowing, Witch Hill & Three Shadows all count for the R.I.P III Challenge, which sorta means I’ve completed it! as I originally plumped for the two book version, however as I have already read 3 and have one more on the go, I’ve upped this to the ‘Peril the First’ version of four books. (and the likelihood is I’ll almost double that, as I have another couple or so I’d like to read.

Search Terms

Bit, of a boring month this time round for interesting search terms, still lots of people searching for a Beedle called Bart, though, which makes me smile every time – and yes I know keeping on mentioning it is going to increase the amount of searches landing here – still one I did manage to dig out one or two that are worthwhile bringing up.
