Time to look at my self imposed challenge!
In September I read 5 orphaned books:

Lovely, Dark, and Deep by Susannah Sandlin - This book became an orphan on September 16th.
Haunted by Joy Preble - This book got orphaned because it was the second book in a series, and I waited with reading it until I got my trotters on book one (yup, I totally bought this out of order). It has been on my shelves since May this year.
Ironskin by Tina Connolly - Has been on my shelves since December 2013 waiting for me to be in the mood for a Jane Eyre retelling.
Angels' Flight by Nalini Singh - Somehow I overlooked this anthology until recently, after adding it to my tbr pile in March 2012
Archangel's Legion by Nalini Singh - Only got orphaned at the start of September
I could argue I even read 6 orphans: I also read Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers, a book I tried back in 2012 and couldn't get into back then. But because I tried the NetGalley version back then, and only acquired the (print) book I recently read in July, I decided that didn't count as an orphan.
That brings the orphans I read so far this year to a total of 19! That is well over my target of 12.
I will continue to try to read at least on orphan each month.
How did you do on your challenges this month?
