October Reading Schedule:
Print:
Eleanor and Franklin-
Trial of Billy Jack-Frank/Teresa Christina Good story!  Hadn't watched the movie, so wasn't sure what it was about.
ABCs of Dee-Danielle Bannister DRR!!!  OMG, I loved this book sooooo much, I had to finish it in one day!!!  I thought I knew who Dee would end up with, and I was right, but OMG....the twists and turns this book took....Well done!  Looking forward to this author's other Rom-Com titles!
Doppleganger-DB DRR!  Oh wow.....enjoyed this soooo much!
Must Love Coffee-DRR!  Excellent story from the man's POV:)
Taking Stock-DB DRR!  Really enjoyed this story:)
A Touch of Magic-Sela Carson DRR!!  Really enjoyed both stories!!
A Kiss of Magic-SC DRR!  Thoroughly enjoyed this!



E-book:
Yours and Mine-Jessy Lin Good story!  Loved the 'realistic' emotions in this:)
Found-Jade Waltz Wonderful story, though I wasn't crazy about the 'tentacles'....and it seemed to drag at times.  Turned out I was wrong about one mystery, and now I'm intrigued enough by the final chapters to get the rest of the series.


Karaoke Songs:
10/1
Til I Kissed You-Everly Bros Bleh....slightly too low, and I botched the bridge.
Rubber Band Man-Spinners Did fairly well; got off rhythm on 2nd verse, but not too bad!
Chains of Love-Erasure Not too bad, considering it was slightly too low.

10/8
Tainted Love-Soft Cell Ugh....too low!
Rumors-Timex Social Club I love this song, but again, slightly too low, and a 'misunderstood lyric' in 1st verse!
Had so many singers, I was only able to sing two.

10/15
Tacky-Weird Al DNH
Rumour Has It-Adele Did well, except for the bridge.  Will sing this again at a later date, after more practice!
Chevy Van-Sammy Johns Slightly too low, but I've loved this song since the 2nd grade!
Rolling In The Deep-Adele Nailed it!
Seven Bridges Road-Eagles (with Peppers) We nailed it:)


10/22
Take A Bow-Madonna Slightly too low, but good!
Rumor Has It-Reba McEntire Messed up on the melody of the 1st verse, but overall, good!
Comfortably Numb-Pink Floyd Verses were good, but chorus was slightly too low.  Not bad!
Take Me Home Country Road -John Denver (with Gary) Nailed it!
Just Give Me A Reason-Pink (with Gary) A few hiccups, but did well!


10/29
Remember Me This Way-Jordan Hill Good:)
Bring Me To Life-Evanescence Nailed it, and was complimented!
Call Me When You're Sober-Evanescence Did well:)
