Books We Read – October 2011

Welcome to November … where the heck did October go? We have fallen off the review wagon and now have received more books than we’ve completed. My goal is to finish a bunch before the pile of to-be-reviewed books topples over!

As always, we would love to get our visitors reading YOUR REVIEWS!  InLinkz (www.inlinkz.com) offers YOU an easy-to-use process and US a more secure system for connecting our reviews. It has thumbnails, too!!  I cannot say enough great things about Team Inlinkz and their level of support and service … so don’t be surprised if you see my gratitude for months to come!

Received: 8  New Reads: 8…. New Reviews: 6

Please use these category headings to “jump” to your favorite children’s and young adult book categories. We hope this makes the monthly list (and our annual list pages) more enjoyable for you … not to mention a little more manageable to browse.

If you’ve read any of these books, we’d love to link to them so readers can learn more about them! Just click “Our Book Talk” to add your link to our website review (via InLinkz) or just paste the URL into a comment and I’ll do the rest.
