NOVEMBER 2012 reads

And once again, here it is the first of the month and I'm doing a quick post of my previous month's reading. Have been rather unsettled lately, listening to a lot of audio books and not doing a whole lot of 'reading' reading. Hence the short list. Have started a lot of books and put them aside, unsure whether to DNF them or try again later...finding a lot of my favorite genre (mysteries) lately to be very formulaic and ho-hum, same old thing. A few exceptions of course but think I need to change things up a bit somehow--not sure just what I'm going to do yet. ANYWAY...on to the pitiful list. LOL

4. The Last Illusion by Rhys Bowen B
5. There's Nothing to be Afraid Of by Marcia Muller (audio) A
6. Soulless by Gail Carriger (kindle) B
