2017 What I'm Reading Wednesday #11 (October 18, 2017)

It has been a while since I last posted about my reading, but I promise you, I have been reading, silently, although not completely alone.  In July I started a new round of Erin's Book Challenge on Facebook and I started out strong.  I completed two books from my challenge list in one month, one of them in Spanish!  Then I decided to start a book club with a coworker.  She needed some motivation to read more, so we decided to read The Passage... Why did I agree to read such a huge book in the middle of my challenge?  I don't know; it seemed like a good idea at the time, and the book was awesome (yes, I do know that I just started another series!).  

Anyway, I now have about two weeks to read the last 6 books on my challenge reading list!  Oh, and I am also reading book club books...  I'm confident.  I can do this... I think...

Anyway, here is my progress so far...
