What I Read In October • 2022

Hi everyone! It's been ages but here's a monthly reading wrap-up. Can I just say UGH. How disappointing is it when your most highly anticipated read turns out to be your least favorite of the month? I'm so sad about Toad but I did find some fantastic reads so it all evens out.

This is what October looked like. I'll eventually get all of the reviews up over here but for now, I linked up the rating to the Goodreads review. If you want to learn more about any of the books just give the book a click.

    That sucks about Toad. I mean, with a title like that. :) Little Secrets- ooh that looks good, I'll have to check that out. And oh my gosh that last one.

      Yes, that last one definitely isn't for everyone (or maybe anyone!) and the series is something like 13 books long now and I'll probably keep reading them, haha.

    I hate it when a book you have been looking forward to just doesn't work out. I really need to get around to reading I'm Glad My Mom Died. Have a great November!

    Sorry to hear that the one you were looking forward to wasn't as good as you had hoped.

I saw a post over at  Mailbox Monday  that was encouraging readers to share their best finds of the week via their  Books That Caught Our Eye  posts.

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...
