Location: UK		In October, I read:

The Hero of Ages - Brandon Sanderson (Second Best - Legend, Omnibusters) - Slightly disappointing finale to an otherwise very enjoyable series.
A Wrinkle in Time - Madeleine L'Engle (60s - 1962) - Didn't do much for me.
Shades of Milk and Honey - Mary Robinette Kowal (Second Best - Locus First Novel, Series - J - Jane Ellsworth*) - Really enjoyed this, look forward to reading the sequels.
Timescape - Gregory Benford (12 in 12 - Campbell) - Good, but I kept expecting it to change direction and it never did. Also read for my personal BSFA challenge.
Some Kind of Fairy Tale - Graham Joyce (12 in 12 - Holdstock) - Great contemporary fantasy of possible fairy abduction.
Star Surgeon - James White (60s - 1963) - Enjoyable follow-up to Hospital Station.

That leaves me with these challenges to finish by the end of the year:

12-in-12 - 10/12
Second Best - 10/12
Omnibusters - 7/8
Read More - 7/9

And these ones which run into next year:

1960s: 4/10
Series A-Z: 10/26
2015: 4/6 (I'll probably increase my goal here)

And my two new challenges, which I haven't started:

Tie-ins: 0/3 (Target depends on availability)
1970s: 0/10


* I'd have called this series the Glamourist Histories myself, but I've decided to go with the name as it is in the WWE database, for ease of tracking.
