So last October I added 6 books to my shelves. That wasn’t too bad. Let’s see how many I’ve read. I don’t think this is my worst month when it comes to looking back at our hauls.

The Tigers in the Tower – Julia Golding
Read

The Tigers in the Tower is a book I received for the tour TBR and Beyond Tours hosted. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy this one at all. The blurb and actual story didn’t really match in my opinion.

A Deadly Education – Naomi Novik
Unread/Currently Reading

A Deadly Education is one I’m surprised I haven’t finished yet. I actually started reading this one earlier this year and have read about a third of the book I think. What I’ve read so far has been really interesting. I know Isabelle loved this and the sequel released recently, so I need to get this one finished.

Cemetery Boys – Aiden Thomas
Unread/Currently Reading

Cemetery Boys is another book I’ve actually started reading, but haven’t finished yet. Oops! I started reading this one when I was busy reading way too many books. Just like with A Deadly Education I need to make sure to finish this one soon.

Skyhunter – Marie Lu
Unread/Currently Reading

Another book from this haul that I have started, but didn’t finish yet. My reading year started off a bit chaotic and I notice that mostly by the fact I’ve started so many books but tend to not finish them all while I’m enjoying them. Skyhunter is stunning and I was enjoying the story. The sequel to this one is out as well, so I need to hurry up!

Spoiler Alert – Olivia Dade
Read

Spoiler Alert ended up being one of my favorite books last year and I even recently did a re-read. This book is just so amazing and I’ve been anxiously awaiting the sequel that will be releasing in a few weeks. Spoiler Alert has romance, amazing characters, humor, fan fiction, cosplay, and so much more!

The Roommate – Rosie Danan
Read

The Roommate is a romance I really ended up enjoying and wondering why it took me so long to finally read it. There were definitely some elements that surprised me, but I also love how these things were handled. I really need to make time for the sequel.

End Result
Read:  3/6 – 50%
TBR:  3/6 – 50%

October 2020 was a month I finally bought some books again. I got two new books I was super excited about, so you can probably guess whether I read them or not ;). Let’s take a look.

Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow – Jessica Townsend
unread

I can’t believe I still haven’t read this one. The first two books in the Nevermoor series are amazing and I had been looking forward to this one since finishing book 2. I adore the covers and I just know I will love this one. Now I just need to read it…

Lair of Dreams – Libba Bray
unread

I really enjoyed The Diviners and wanted to read the rest of the series right away. So of course I haven’t yet… By now I own the first three books so I should get on it pretty soon. That way I can finally finish some series….

End Result
Read:  0/2 – 0%
TBR:  2/2 – 100%
