As
you can see I’ve read three books and two short stories in the third quarter,
which technically ended at the end of September. I’ve included a list of those completed in
October, which will eventually be put into “Completed in the Fourth
Quarter.” I included them here because
they may have actually been started and partially read in the third
quarter. I know Vol 5 of Les Misérables was mostly read in the
third quarter.
I’m
hoping to finish the “currently reading” by the end of the year, and read the
epistles from Peter, James, and Jude in both the NIV and KJV. Perhaps I can squeeze in something else too.
