How? Oh how is already November? How?
If I thought September was pretty low key, October was even more low key. Work was tough and took a lot out of me. I also played major introvert these last few weeks. Not a lot of human interaction outside of work and my house (so still a significant amount). So with all this "me time" you'd think I'd have a lot of reading time. Not really. I read enough. I also watched Gilmore Girls- a lot of Gilmore Girls. I'm pretty stoked for the revival in a few weeks.
October on the blog was pretty great. Stefanie joined the Just Another Story team. She's still getting into the swing of things and I have really enjoyed having her around. I participated in the #Spookathon this month. It was a lot of fun. I was pretty impressed with my reading that month- I read two whole books and one audiobook. Two books in one week is kind of epic for me. I probably could have fit one more book in, but like I said, Gilmore Girls.

Favourite of the Month:
I have binging pretty hard on Sarah J. Maas the last few weeks. She is one addicting writer. I read A Court of Thorns and Roses in September and thought I could take a break and read A Court of Mist and Fury later. Yeah, right. I devoured this book. It was crazy. It took the story to a whole new level. I loved it. So much fun. I am dying for the third and final (?) installment.

Favourite of Listen of the Month
Were you expecting something else? I am almost done my epic reread- well relisten. It's been SO great. Believe it or not, I have only read these last two books once- when they were first released. So I really loved reading all the little side stories that I had forgotten, and just the little nuances missing from the movie. Loved it so much.
October's Posts:
That was my month, friends. How about you? Read anything interesting? What were your favourites, least favourites? I love hearing about what you've been reading, so share it all with me.
~Happy Reading Everyone
Ha! Introverted/anti-social is just the way I roll - I feel you on that front for sure :) And ditto for all my home-time, I spent more time watching than reading in October. I was on a book hangover because of Empire of Storms so I spent a good two weeks barely reading. Le sigh. I love that your favorite reads of October were ACOMAF AND HBP. Perfection ♥
ReplyDeleteHappy November!! xx
I still need to get into ACoTaR series from Maas, but I totally get you on the addicting writing. I'm reading Queen of Shadows right now and totally loving it. I didn't get to do a HP reread this year, but here's hoping I can fit it in next year!
