Good Afternoon Everyone! It’s Halloween!
So where I am working now we get x amount of holidays and then we get to choose a holiday to take from a list. Yep, I take Halloween.
So October seems to have just flown by in the blink of an eye. Yes, that may be due to me running around like crazy. Really my daughter has to be somewhere after school every day. So that is when I read. If any of you follow me on Instagram you have seen how I spend the non-raining football games. My daughter is in the band so I only have to pay attention during halftime and pre-game.
When I am not running around for that she is also in the orchestra.
So I was looking at what I read in September and October and I could not figure out why my reading had gone down so much from July and August. Well, I keep needing to remind myself that I am much busier now that school is in full swing. And I should be happy if I just read one book. So that is something that I am working on. Just being happy with what I can accomplish and not focusing on what I didn’t. I know this seems like a simple concept but I am truly my own worst enemy.
But you are not here to hear me ramble about all of that you are here to see what I read this month so here we go!
I finished 10 books this month and DNF’d 2.

Looks like a pretty good month overall! I hope Lady’s Guide was just as fun as Gentleman’s Guide!

The Lady’s Guide was lovely, but I liked The Gentleman’s Guide a tad more.
I got The Lady’s Guide from the library and didn’t preorder, so I didn’t get to read The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky and I want to so much!

I agree I liked Gentleman’s Guide more. I am sure we will be able to get our hands on that short story eventually.
