@Jo, you always have such intriguing WWII books on your reading list!

@Lady-Merian, to be fair, I don't remember exactly how The Chestnut King resolves. Which also says something. But, otherwise, no - I didn't care for the epilogue either, but I also didn't care for the main thing I remember about the ending

So, yeah, it's more than just losing steam that I've never actually reread it, even if I have reread The 100 Cupboards multiple times and Dandelion Fire at least once.
I don't remember how many books I finished in October, but I do think it was more than three. I should reread The Perilous Gard again - it's been a good while since my last read.

@narnian78 / @waggawerewolf27, yes, Rilla of Ingleside is the last book in the Anne series.
You can find Water Babies in the US, but I don't think it's very popular. I did run across and read a copy of it a few years back, but mostly found it very odd - I'm not sure what the point of it was either!

@narnian78 I am not sure which book was the last of the Anne of Green Gables series.  I don't think my church library has all of them.

Do you have a council library service where you live? I agree that some localities might be better served than others, especially in such a big place as USA, but in Australia, especially in the State of New South Wales, where I live, if you do belong to such a municipal or shire library, you might not only be able to borrow what is available at that library, itself, but you can also ask the librarians if they can get a specific book from some other library if it isn't held in your local book collection. Across Sydney & throughout the state, its municipal & shire libraries are in a network, when your own local library might have particularly good collections in some subjects, but weaker in other subjects which interest you. An obvious speciality might be local history, for example.    

This system of lending is what we call interlibrary loans, & you would be asked to pay a fee for doing so, usually the cost of postage. Of course, library rules do apply, though I find the lending time to be often very generous. I've even found myself being able to borrow from the NSW State Library, part of the network, through interlibrary loans, where most, if not all, its collection is usually made up of reference materials, to be consulted in the library's main reading room, for example. 

@narnian78 I did run across and read a copy of it a few years back, but mostly found it very odd - I'm not sure what the point of it was either!

I think the book was mainly about the Irishwoman in the raggedy outfit being really Mother Carey, & the chimneysweep's master finding himself in a turnip patch, somehow, but I can't be sure. Mother Carey and her chickens got to be part of the local patois, when some politician or other was stuck with Carey as a surname. Or was it because Archbishop George Carey, was for a time, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Church of England? Thus, those of the Anglican persuasion might get called "Mother Carey's chickens", I suppose. And that is how an otherwise unexceptional book might contribute to everyday discourse, in the newspapers, for instance. 

Though his books are definitely for adults, have you ever read any of Tom Keneally's books, such as Schindler's Ark? In reading the preface of that book, filmed as Schindler's List, I was startled to realise that I might have even met one of the characters, whose surname was Pfiefferburg, or something like that, when he ran a luggage shop in Beverley Hills, a Sydney Suburb, not far from Earlwood, where I lived until I married in 1971. At first, I had thought the shop would have been in Beverley Hills, near Hollywood, not our particular Beverley Hills. 

Keneally also wrote novels like the Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith, & another about Joan of Arc called Blood Red, Sister Rose. Currently, I am reading Commonwealth of Thieves: the Sydney Experiment, which is Tom Keneally's take on Australian history. The trouble is, with Christmas coming on, I don't really have the time to sit down and read for too long.

There is the Lakeland Library Cooperative, which serves several counties here in Michigan. It may be the same thing as a council library service. It has its own catalog of books, which are available for interlibrary loan, and there is delivery to local libraries.There is  also a service which delivers books from college and university libraries, considering that they are reasonably close to where I live.  It seems like Anne of Green Gables books are more likely to be in a public library.  I remember decades ago when it took weeks or longer to receive a book through interlibrary loan. That is one of the good things that technology has brought us-- much faster service. The whole process is much easier than it used to be.
