On The Blog
This month was definitely a lot more productive in terms of posting! I managed to be somewhat consistent, so I'm pretty satisfied with my effort.
"Top Ten Tuesday"
Character Driven Novels | Places I Want To Visit | Series I Want To Start | Characters I Want To Dress Up For Halloween
In which I do some complaining (like usual), and recommend two new restaurants for all you food lovers.
I listed the 2015 book to movie adaptations that I'm looking forward to the most, and was thoroughly surprised that there are so many coming out.
November releases to keep an eye out for

Reading Time
Moving on to my reading month, and October was actually very successful despite exams fast approaching. I read a total of 10 books, without even participating in any read-a-thons. They were all quite average, but check out my wrap up below!

Wow, that's a HUGE month Trace and thanks for the shoutout.
ReplyDeleteThe Program has been one of my favourite reads, have you read The Treatment yet? She's actually bringing out a novella that takes place after book two, only it's full length. I'm stoked, because I kind of felt unfinished.
What are you reading at the moment? Your current book on the sidebar isn't working for me. Sorry to hear your last few reads have been pretty meh. Hopefully the next one knocks your socks off <3
I know, I was surprised myself. No problem, I think you should a post about NetGalley in general actually, it'd really be helpful!
DeleteNo, I want to start The Treatment soon and I saw the novella already. It sounds so interesting! I'm actually not reading anything at the moment, that's why there's nothing there hahaha. I'm going to start Cinder very soon though. I hope that will be a good read.
Thanks for popping by :)
