Happy Saturday, Bookworms!
How was your reading month? What was your favorite read?
October was a pretty good month for me. I’m slowly but surely getting more and more books read during a month. I hope this pace keeps steadily increasing so I can finished all the wonderful books on my Fall TBR.
This month I read 15 books, added 43Β more to my tbr, and posted 11 reviews:

Muffled by Jennifer Gennari | βββββ
Kingdom of Sea and StoneΒ by Mara Rutherford | ββββ
Soul of the CrowΒ by Jessaca Willis | βββ
The Princess KnightΒ by G. A. Aiken | ββββ
SkyhunterΒ by Marie Lu | βββββ
About A VampireΒ by Lynsay Sands | β
The Bright and Breaking SeaΒ by Chloe Neill | ββββ1/2
Hailey’s HalloweenΒ by Lisa Bullard, Illustrated by Holli CongerΒ |Β ββββ
Don’t Push the Button!: A Halloween Treat by Bill Cotter | βββββ
My absolute favorite October reads were hands-down Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson and Skyhunter by Marie Lu. Such great stories with likable and complex characters…I could gush with bookish glee about these compelling books all day. π

I didn’t buy any books this month (*my wallet sighs in relief*), but I did get An Indecent Invitation by Laura Trentham, which was a free kindle book. It’s a historical romance and there are spies and the plot sounds very intriguing. I had to know more!
Let’s briefly talk about the upcoming election. There are 3 DAYSΒ until Election Day. If you haven’t already done so, get out and V-O-T-E ! Know your polling place, early voting locations, and drop boxes are (where applicable). For more resources visit Vote.org .
And now for blog posts I enjoyed reading this month. There were a lot posts I wanted to include, so I’m leaving out the comments I usually write for this section. But trust me, these posts are worth the read (and follow π):
