Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA		A record month, 12 books. A few were pretty short, one was a novella. My favorites this month were Bob the Book, Burning Girls, and A Darkling Sea. My big revelation this month: I may not be able to read one of the books on my shelves because the font is too small and dense. It's an old, used paperback and my eyes are getting way too old. I might see about getting the digital version of it. It's starting to take the fun out of finding old treasures in used book stores. Here's the full list of my September reads:

The Adventures of Crazy Liddy - Clayton Callahan - not yet in the database
As - Malinda Lo - LGBT, WoGF, 2nd Best, P&M
Bob the Book - David Pratt - LGBT, P&M not yet in the database
The Bone Season - Samantha Shannon - LGBT, WoGF
Burning Girls - Veronica Schanoes - LGBT, WoGF
A Darkling Sea - James Cambias - P&M, 2nd Best
The Demonologist - Andrew Pyper - 2nd Best, P&M
The Faill of Arthur - JRR Tolkien - Tolkien Challenge, Just Have to
Gilgamesh the King - Robert Silverberg - Just Have to, Unloved
Mr Penumbras 24 Hour Bookstore - Robin Sloan - 2nd Best, P&M
A Natural History of Dragons - Marie Brennan - 2nd Best
Oranges are not the only Fruilt - LGBT, WoGF

The Status of the Challenges:
I Just Have to Read - 11/12
Clear the Shelves 14/15
Pick & Mix - 36/40
Solar System 3/3
Tolkien 11/12
Unloved 12/12
12 in 12 9/12
YA - 11/12
WoGF 9/12
LGBT - 8/12
2nd Best 9/12

I've got about 10 books to go, plus rereading "The Goblin Emperor" for my book club. Most are a little longer, but I should be able to finish all the challenges.
