My October reads:
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd - book group read, OK and easy to read.
The Fabric of Sin by Phil Rickman - murder mystery about a lady priest who specialises in Deliverance so elements of the supernatural, as well as quite a bit about the Knights Templar and M R James; I enjoyed it and it's the latest in a series so plenty to catch up on!
The Man in the Picture by Susan Hill - ghost story about a strange painting, a very quick read and quite atmospheric but not a patch on "The Woman in Black".

[quote=""Spitfire""]I noticed you read Foxfire, by Setton, Misfit. That one is on my TBR pile. What did you think of it, I loved Katheryn![/quote]
Spitfire, Foxfire is not Katherine by a long shot and may not appeal to all readers (I love learning about mining history and I've spent time in Arizona), so I enjoyed it a great deal.
