Still figuring out some of the books. I'm hopeful that between the Autumn/Fall books and Bingo books some of these will just naturally be finished up. Do we get bonus points if we actually clean our refrigerators? Always looking for that added push to do something that needs doing anyway!

Carol, you can use the horse ride for this challenge if you'd like. We're not that strict. ;-) (Sorry not to reply sooner, but I've been sick.)

Heather, are you better now? I hope it hasn't been too bad.

Here is what I read for the November challenges, though a friend claims I was 'stretching' it a bit for some of these. Three of these are actually within the mystery genre, though definitely not cozy. ;-)


1. November is National Novel Writing Month and November 2 is Book Lovers Day � Reader’s choice

The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham


2. November 6 is Marooned without a Compass Day � Read a book in which someone gets lost or loses something.

Biting the Moon by Martha Grimes (Main character has lost her memory)


3. ...Read a book that features food.

Dakota by Martha Grimes (This is the one my friend said I was stretching a bit, but admitted it does fit the challenge -- it's about an agribusiness and slaughterhouse)

5. November 26 is Shopping Reminder Day and November 28 Black Friday � Read a book in which someone goes shopping or buys something.

Think Twice by Lisa Scottoline

Congrats, Heather! And I think it fits the challenge (not the usual but anyway...)

Thanks, Marisa. It was technically about food, but as you said -- just not in the usual factor, and why I had to set aside Delicious and Suspicious before finishing even one chapter. Definitely wasn't a good choice to follow a book about a hog farm. :-P

:D No, I don't think so....
