Month In Review

A Look Back at October

DG Reads

October wound up being a fantastic reading month. I participated in the #thrillathonreadathon with a focus on squeezing some extra thrillers in and I had quite a few big buddy read books to tackle as well, but I managed to pull it together as the weather finally cooled a bit and encouraged me to stay… Continue reading A Look Back at October

THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING by Alexis Henderson

DG Reads

Rating: 4 / 5 October was all about the witchy stories for the #SaturdayBookstaClub buddy read that I help to host on Bookstagram, so THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING by Alexis Henderson was our second pick of the month.

MAJESTY by Katharine McGee

DG Reads

Rating: 4 / 5 Which came first - my need to hurry up and read this book so I could post a picture of Kylee as a pretty princess or my need to buy a pretty princess costume so that I could justify adding this anticipated read to my already stuffed TBR?

Schwab a couple years back and remember enjoying it, but then never got around to picking up book two in the Shades of Magic series, likely distracted by reading prompts that didn't fit the book. When a friend suggested picking up the… Continue reading A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC by V.E. Schwab

Rating: 4 / 5 THE DAUGHTERS OF FOXCOTE MANOR by Eve Chase was an adult Once Upon a Book Club book box pick from a couple months back and I finally managed to add it to my October reading.

DG Reads

Rating: 4 / 5 I haven't traditionally read a lot of graphic novels, comics or manga but have been exploring them a bit more through reading challenges in the last few years and have found a few that I've enjoyed a lot. The SAGA series written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Fiona Staples… Continue reading SAGA (vol 1) by Brian K. Vaughan
