Goodreads isn't recording my stats properly and it's driving me spare! So, after a slight delay, here's my monthly roundup. I don't generally read a lot of YA but I read some superb examples this month #bestofoctober #uncannyoctober

I read a lot more children‘s books than anything else this month, but I squeezed these two in and they both far surpassed my expectations! #BestOfOctober #UncannyOctober #OctoberFavorites #SpookyOctober

October was a fantastic month to make a dent in my TBR! No Rereads and almost 20 books read! Can't wait to dive into November!

Well, I don't really have a favourite from October; I had 6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ reads and 3 ⭐️⭐️ reads. However, I did have fun reading 80s teen romance novels for #HorrifiedReads! Thanks for the trip down memory lane @RestlessFickleBookSlut! I only made it through 4 out of the 50+ stack, so I think I might keep on reading them. It's been quite the experience! #SpookyOctober #OctoberFavorites #UncannyOctober #BestofOctober

😕 Only 5 books read this month and 3 of them were audio. Of course it's been a a busy month with getting back from vacation, fall gardening, and teaching a new yoga class. But at least they were 5 really great books:
Gentleman in Moscow
Not My Father's Son
The Alice Network
Under the Udala Trees
Eleanor and Park

The Haunting of Hill House was the horror story I've been looking for. Shirley Jackson is playing some chess with this one. She guides us through the story, dropping tidbits here and there, but ultimately leaves it for us to decide what exactly went on in that house. Not a big re-reader, but this will become an annual Halloween read. 5🌟

Hearing Alan Cumming use the word wee; e.g. wee belly, wee drink, or casually mentioning the view of the Forth of Firth makes this audio book worth listening to. But it's so much more than that. It's an uplifting story of survival. It's reclaiming your power with a multitude of hairstyles. One moment it's heartbreaking the next hilarious. Witty and charming. #bestofoctober #nonfiction #uncannyoctober @RealLifeReading

October reading wrap-up! Finished 10 books and many were spooky/October-ish. Favorites were Fever Dream and the Caitlin Kiernan books.
