I honestly can’t believe that October is over. As you all know by now, October is one of my favorite months. I absolutely love autumn, and I basically survive off of Pumpkin Spice Lattes from September to November. There is just something wonderful about getting that perfect drink on a crisp fall day. Unfortunately, October was one of those months where my reading was drastically lower than my previous months. I squeezed in a novella and a graphic novel tonight so that I would be too embarrassed by my lack of reading. Though the quantity of books was down this month, the quality was high. I read one of my favorite books this year in October!
As I always say, if you’re reading this, I genuinely appreciate you. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I posted a lot of blog posts this month, and I’m just so thankful for every one of you!
As most readers know, our reading habits vary from month to month. I’m doing these monthly wrap-ups because the Ravenclaw in me LOVES all the statistics! I’m currently using the reading log by Book Riot to find all of my stats so if this looks like fun, I highly recommend taking a look at their reading log (though… it’s now not on their website)! So without further ado, here are my stats for October!
