September has gone and we’re into the month of all things spooky – or October if you prefer.  I’ve had a busy month and I’ve managed to read some absolutely excellent months.  I hope October is as good a reading month.  On a personal note I’m currently on a road trip in Europe – which is wonderful, visiting lots of places and taking a whole truck load of photographs, at the moment in the romantic city of Verona.  Hope you all had a lovely September.

I must say that I’m pretty damn pleased with myself for showing such restraint this month. 😀

My Cover compare this month – The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman:

I prefer the golden cover – I’d not seen the other cover before and I do like it but the first one just seems to have a glow about it – as though it’s been dusted with fairy dust.

I’ve completed the third month of the SPFBO and will be posting about that shortly.

Hope you’ve all had a great September and hope your October is even better..
