100DayProject2025

October | Julie Murray

I had a good reading month in October but still did not catch up on my #100DayProject2025. Sigh! Hoping for a productive reading month in November. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
(November 5, 2025)

MemoirsForMe 9 books in a month sounds very productive to me! 🙌🏻 Happy November and Happy Reading! 🤗❤️📚 4d

PurpleyPumpkin @MemoirsForMe Actually, you‘re right about October being productive. I guess I was just hoping for more. 🙃 November looks to be a crazy busy month so I would honestly be very happy if I read 9 books again. 🤞🏽 3d

MemoirsForMe I still can‘t believe it‘s November already and Christmas is right around the corner. 😳 3d

PurpleyPumpkin @MemoirsForMe Completely agree!!! Time is zipping by... we're going to start decorating for Christmas this weekend. Wowza! 😅 3d

Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies: A Novel | Catherine Mack

I so enjoyed this book! It was perfectly paced and infinitely readable. As soon as I was done, I went out and bought the next book in the series! A fun summer read that kept me guessing until the end.

MemoirsForMe What a view! Perfect spot for reading! 2mo

PurpleyPumpkin @MemoirsForMe It really is a great reading spot. Now that the mosquitoes have all but disappeared, I‘m hoping to do a lot of fall reading out there!🤞🏽 2mo

To the Lighthouse | Virginia Woolf

pick

I finished this book back in August for July‘s #VirginiaBloomsberries and #AuthorAMonth picks. I read both a physical copy and the audiobook and I think the audio really helped me follow the shifting perspectives and stream of consciousness form. Woolf‘s writing is luminous and layered and I found the book both thoughtful and quietly moving - a truly lovely read. 4/5⭐️

PurpleyPumpkin @MemoirsForMe It‘s still possible since the two sides haven‘t yet come to an agreement. But they‘re scheduled to get back to bargaining so 🤞🏽that they‘re successful! 3mo

Burial Rites | Hannah Kent

This book wrecked me. It was such a devastating and unforgettable story. The ending just about broke my heart. 💔 This was very well-written with lots of character development and historical detail. I highly recommend the audiobook. 5/5⭐️

Librarybelle Oh! I‘ve not listened to it on audio. I may have to do that! 3mo

tpixie @Librarybelle @PurpleyPumpkin Wrecked- good choice of words. The audiobook was great! I listened during the day and read it on my e-book at night. And then tortured myself and both read and listened to the ending…. 3mo

Librarybelle @tpixie @PurpleyPumpkin I describe the book as hauntingly beautiful. It‘s such a good book! 3mo

Nineteen Steps | Millie Bobby Brown

pick

Authorship controversy aside, this was a good introduction to a forgotten WW2 tragedy. The Bethnal Green tube disaster was the focal point of the novel with each character tied to this event. Conflicting accounts of how the whole thing happened abound. I appreciated how MBB and Kathleen McGurl brought the event and the era to life. 3/5⭐️

Murder by Cheesecake: A Golden Girls Cozy Mystery | Rachel Ekstrom Courage

pick

This was a cute first instalment in the series. I think the author did a decent job of including character traits of the original tv GGs and spot-on 1980s references (“It‘s not that I don‘t want to help you, Dorothy, I do…But I‘m no Jessica Fletcher. I have no idea how to solve a murder.) 3/5⭐️

MemoirsForMe I have this one in my bookcase too. Sounds like it‘s cheesy enough for me. 😁 Glad you liked it! 4mo

PurpleyPumpkin @MemoirsForMe It was a nice, light read, perfect for the slower summer months. I‘ll definitely continue reading the series. 😉 4mo
