October 2010

Pumpkins... the iconic image of Autumn, October and of course, Halloween.  I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, but adore all things Autumn and pumpkin.  I LOVE pumpkins and cannot wait to indulge in two months of pumpkin pies, breads, cakes and cookies.  I suppose savory treats could be made from pumpkin, but that's not where my taste buds are at!

This month will also be the month I achieve my goal for 2010!  100 books read!  I am so proud and excited to meet this goal.  I am especially excited because my 100th book looks to be written by a high school classmate of mine. 

98.  Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen
99.  American Wife:  A Novel by Curtis Sittenfeld

100.  The Countess:  A Novel by Rebecca Johns
