All I can say is that we&#8217;re hitting fall crunch time. Between Halloween, our anniversary, Thanksgiving, two kid birthdays and all the winter holidays? Everything from October til January is a bit rushed. I&#8217;ve also been using having the house (mostly) to myself during the day to get some cleaning done while the kids are gone. My husband&#8217;s still working from home most of the time, but since he stays in his office cave, it&#8217;s almost like being home alone again! My little introvert self is happy, but I&#8217;m also trying to catch up on a lot of belated decluttering that I should&#8217;ve done, uh, last year. I&#8217;ve been so tired at the end of the day that not a lot of reading is getting done.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the Halloween craziness, I just missed fully completing the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reading-challenges\/cannonballread-13-bingo\/\">Cannonball Bingo<\/a>, though I did get most of the squares marked off! There&#8217;s another fall bingo that I have barely even glanced at, but I am hoping to do one for December. For Goodreads, at the start of the month I was at 242 books out of my goal of 250 books. It&#8217;s looking like I&#8217;ll meet my goal this month!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">BOOKS READ IN OCTOBER<\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"flex-covers\">\n<ul>\n<li
