November Books:

The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Holmes by: Loren D. Estleman
Fiction: Mystery, 208 pages
In this book Sherlock is hired to find out what connection a Mr. Edward Hyde has to do with Dr. Henry Jekyll.  As most readers will know the answer before reading the book, it was interesting how it was written given this fact.

Game of Fangs: A Vampire Horror-Comedy Novel by: Johnny B. Truant
Fiction: Paranormal, E-book
A group of friends LARP in a vampire game tournament only to run into real vampires.

The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Ectoplasmic Man by: Daniel Stashower
Fiction: Mystery, 203 pages
Unlike the other books I have read in this series, Holmes in not interacting with another fictional character in this book.  In this book he has to clear the name of Harry Houdini 1st for spying charges and then for more crimes.  Also the title is based on the fact that Lestrade thinks he really can walk through walls and not that it was just a trick.

The Land That Time Forgot by: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Fiction: Classic, Sci-fi, E-book
Having seen various things based on this book, I was amazed that like half the book took place before they even see the titled island.  Like there is a whole war/spy story before they see a single dinosaur.  Also as it is a hundred year old book there are some racist ideas pretending to be evolutionarily science.
