October flew by, and we are that much closer to the holidays! October was also a crazy work month for me, I was barely able to keep up with the blog tour schedules never mind the additional books on top of that that I signed up to review. Luckily I was able to take the past two days off to catch up on some relaxation and fun. And hopefully in November/December I’ll catch up on my backlog! So below is my progress for October:
Monthly Stats:
# books read this month: 8
# pages read this month: 2,406
# books read year-to-date: 91
# pages read year-to-date: 27,167
Favorite Books I Read:
First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen – 4.5 stars
Other Posts this month:

The Highlander is All That BLOG TOUR!!
St. Martin’s Press Holiday Romance Blitz – Blog Tour Post

Status of 2017 Reading Challenges:
- Finish 2016 ARC’s from NetGalley that I missed – Still have 26 more to go, plus going to have another 30ish from 2017. Shouldn’t sign up for any 2018 reviews and should just read my backlog LOL
- Participate in 2 reading challenges – During May I participated in the Bout of Books challenge and during August I participated in ARC August so this Goal is checked!
- Other goals:
- Write shorter reviews – I think I’m doing better at this, this past month I was able to get out a few shorter ones
- Continue establishing relationships – I think I’m doing it, we’ll see how it goes I guess!
Next Month TBR List:
I did my best in October to keep up but I missed a bunch of reviews. My schedule for November is currently lighter than usual (hopefully that doesn’t change) so I’m hoping to catch up on some of the backlog during November. Below is my TBR list for November only though, make sure to check back regularly for some great reads this month!
