I tried to read a book a day in October, and though I wasn’t able to do quite that, I still managed to read 25 books!

How was your October? Did we read or review any of the same books? Comment below!
That’s such a productive reading month! Did you like Babel? I really want to read it.
Thanks! I did like Babel. It was powerful and thought-provoking, and the story was so immersive. But it’s a little dense at times. Overall, a 5 star read for me. I hope you get a chance to read it and love it!
Nope- the only month where I couldn’t finish a book
Awww – that’s too bad. 🙁
At least, October was still was an incredible month
What a great month of reading! I hope November is as good. 🙂
Thanks Yolanda. I hope you have a great November too.
25 still isn’t bad! I only managed to read 15. I think that’s my lowest number for the year.
And that’s still really good! 25 is one of my highest, I think. I was trying to read a book a day, but I was pleased with the 25.
I pulled off more than 30 in July in August, but you’re right. 15, 25, it doesn’t matter as long as we’re enjoying reading. 🙂
you read 25 books!! my goodness.
Right! I need a life. lol
You had a fantastic month! So many pretty covers and books I want to read.
Thank you!
Oh, I didn’t realize Lakesedge isn’t a standalone!! I meant to read Lakesedge in October, but it just didn’t happen. Maybe December!
Yes, it’s a duology. I definitely liked the first book more than the second, but it was a pretty interesting story. I hope you enjoy it when you get to it!
You had a great reading month! Babel… I’m so intimidated by it. LOL
I know nothing about Better than Fiction by Alexa Martin, but that cover is stunning! Want to read it just because of it! 🙈
lol – me too! It’s so cute.
Julie!!! 25 books!!! Holy granola, you are AMAZING! 😍 I’m so glad we read Babel together although I’m still struggling with how to write my review for that book cos it feels too big. 😂 I hope you have just as great a month in November!
I feel the same way – I have a lot of thoughts, but they’re kind of all over the place. SO much happened, and there are so many different things I’d want to talk about. I feel like it would be the longest review ever!! lol
This October wrap-up has put my reading to shame! Lol! Looks like you read a ton of amazing books. I am adding a few of these to my winter reading list so thank you for sharing. My October was fairly uneventful when it came to reading but luckily, my book club had a book that I absolutely loved (and will probably reread in the future tbh). “Daughters of Teutobod” by Kurt Hansen is an epic historical fiction book that I think you and your readers will really enjoy. I love inspirational women’s fiction and family sagas always keep me hooked so this was a win-win. The book follows three different women from three different time periods – Gretel, Gudrun, and Samantha. I loved how these women were portrayed because even though they are “strong and inspirational characters” they are realistically shown as being human and making mistakes and adapting/persevering. I really felt the book was a gentle reminder to remember it’s ok to be “not ok” during anything you’re dealing with. Hope you will check it out!

Thanks for the recommendation, Teri. So glad to hear you enjoyed it. I’ll be sure to check it out!
Teri: Thanks for your kind words about my book! I am so happy you enjoyed it. FYI, website is http://www.authorkurthansen.com. Peace!
Sooo many books, Julie!! <3 I hope that November has been just as amazing, so far.
Thanks so much, Leslie!
