October wasn’t a bad reading month, but I didn’t feel like I had much focus for reading and blogging, so I didn’t read everything I wanted to. Still, this was a very good month overall. I enjoyed everything I read, and that’s a good thing:-) My favorite book of the month is definitely American Rapture! Here are the books I read and reviewed in October (click on the titles to read my reviews):
American Rapture by C.J. Leede
The Hitchcock Hotel by Stephanie Wrobel
Rest Stop by Nat Cassidy
The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch
Run by Blake Crouch
Odd Spirits by S.T. Gibson
You had a good reading month. The Nightmare Before Kissmas looks good.

It was a lot of fun:-)
For a month where you felt like you didn’t focus, you sure read a lot of books!! Wishing you a great start to November!
Thanks Lisa, so far November is already better!
Definitely looks like a decent month, especially given you felt a lack of focus. I hope November is better. My favorite of the month was probably Mirrored Heavens by Rebecca Roanhorse.
I haven’t read Mirrored Heavens, but I loved the first book in the series.
Oh no I forgot that I still have to buy Odd Spirits. How could I forget about it? It might have to wait a little bit now.
It’s such a pretty book, it’s worth getting at some point:-)
You had a great month! 🙂

Thanks Stormi!
I think I read 8 things total but have two carrying over I can knock out this weekend and get a jump on November. I always plan on reading so much in October and historically, it’s usually one of my lower months. I did have a work trip that sucked 2 days up and a good day of prep and a good day of recovery. Now that Halloween has passed, I am sure time will fly with the other holidays smashing in before we know it. Congrats on all your reading!
I just had too many review books for October and it ruined my focus. This month is much better so far!
Great reads!
My favorites were a French thriller and a Japanese magical realism:

Thanks Emma:-)
It looks like you read some great books during October, some of which I also really want to read sometime. I hope you feel like your focus is better during November, it’s so frustrating when it feels off. My favourite read of the month was also my new favourite of the year, North Is The Night. I really can’t wait to be able to share my full thoughts on it.
I’m looking forward to your review of North is the Night! And so far I’m just enjoying my reading a lot. I don’t have any expectations and I think that’s helping.
My reading and blogging month was exactly like yours Tammy!
I definitely plan to read your review of THE BLACK HUNGER after I write up mine. It’ll be fun to compare notes. It’s also been fun to sort of live DM you when I get to certain parts haha. I’ve got about 25% left to read.
