I've just started Danton: The Giant of the French Revolution by David Lawday. I've got four books left to read in my Paris category and need to get hopping. It's going to be a close thing this year, so that while I'm eying a few tomes, I'll have to save them for next year.

Danton vs. Robespierre is the original Team Jacob/Team Edward rivalry. You love one or the other. Never both.

Haha, love that comparison!

I'm reading Heartless by Gail Carriger, a carryover from last month. It's a quick read, though, so I hope to finish it today.

I am just about to start my last official read for the 11 in 11 challenge, Columbine for my non-fiction category.

I have also started Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson, a children's book that has been highly recommended.

DQ, I found Columbine to be an excellent read.

I have about 200pages left for The Stand, one short story left in Think Like a Dinosaur and one CD left of Red Knife, so I should be able to write some reviews on my thread soon...

I'm reading two books at the moment: The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner (on my Kindle) and A Red Herring Without Mustard by Alan Bradley. I need to get Bradley's book read because I just snagged the next in the series from Early Reviewers. I'll mostly be reading from my Kindle over the coming weekend.

I've finished the exhausting and excellent The Giant of the French Revolution: Danton by David Lawday. I'm minded to stay in France with either The Waitress was New by Dominique Fabre or A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel. Maybe both.

I'm also reading The Very Thought of You by Rosie Alison

I've started Doubloon by Jay Amberg, it's a re-read for me and I'm enjoying it.

Listening to Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. The narrator does the accents so much better than I imagined them when I've read it in the past. Bonus!

This will be my last read for the Challenge!

Tallgrass sounds like one I'd enjoy. I'll check and see if it's on my TBR list.

I'll finish my challenge if I don't go off challenge or pick long books. So now all I want to do is to read long, long books, many of which I cannot possibly shoehorn in. Sigh. Still, it's not like the books I'm reading aren't good.

They are: Murder on the Eiffel Tower by Claude Izner, Lost in the City of Light by Richard de Combray and The Bloody Shirt: Terror After the Civil War by Stephen Budiansky.

I started the new Dexter Morgan-book, Double Dexter, and so far Lindsay has got the voice right. That whole series is unfortunately a bit hit-and-miss, so I'm keeping my fingers Xed for this installment.

I'm reading Detective Inspector Huss by Helene Tursten, another of the now popular Swedish mystery series. I'm liking it a lot so far except that I don't think the translation is very good. I looked and later books in her series have a different and hopefully better translator.

I'm reading Shanghai Girls by Lisa See, which has been sitting on my TBR shelf for far too long. I am also about to start The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, of which I have heard a lot of good things.

I'm currently reading my ER copy of the latest Flavia de Luce mystery, I Am Half-Sick of Shadows and listening to The Terracotta Dog, the second book in the Inspector Montalbano series. In some ways, the books couldn't be more different, but they share a great sense of humor. I'm enjoying both.

I'm reading A Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner. It's good, but I miss Eugenides!

At the end of November I'm reading A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel. She made me like Tudor politics, so I'm excited to see what she'll do with events I'm actually interested in. Also, can she make Robespierre sympathetic?

I'm also reading Waiter Rant by Steve Dublanica, because last night I was too tired for the French Revolution.

I'm reading The Toyminator, which is the sequel to The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse. Not sure if I'll finish it or not, I haven't given it 50 pages yet, so we'll see.

I'm just starting Death of an Expert Witness. P.D. James is great, but there is a very slow buildup in this one, and I am having trouble keeping track of all the potential suspects!

I'm currently reading an ARC of Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God an English Voice and I'm listening to The Murder of the Century. I won't finish either one this evening, so they'll be my first December books.

The Toyminator didn't work out so now I'm reading A Faint Cold Fear by Karin Slaughter.
