I hope it still counts for the October Book of the Month because I started and finished Elena Ferrante's novel - "The Lying Life of Adults" in September! It was certainly my kind of book and just had to be devoured quickly! I then picked up "Violeta" by Isabel Allende and raced through that as well also during the last few days of September. Her previous best seller "A Long Petal of the Sea" which I am now reading will at least be read during the month of October!
