Monday Morning Check In

Monday Reading Check In

Happy Monday! I can’t believe it is already the last Monday of October? Like, seriously? Where did October go! It has been a busy month and this weekend was definitely more busy than originally planned. I bought a car! I am very excited to finally have a new car (the current stock made car shopping very rough to find what I wanted) and my old car did well by me but definitely was in need of more repair attention than I wanted to put into it. That plus some vax shots on Friday and some allergy inducing Santa Ana winds starting to head into town, I had a bit of a rough sleeping weekend and am starting the week a bit extra tired!

We’ve reached that time in the month where I’m starting to think ahead to my November TBR even as I’m still trying to fit in some extra #Spookoplathon rolls. My #CoffeeAndCurrentlyReading today fits for both as I slated THE HEROES by Joe Abercrombie in for my last “Big Book” prompt even though it’s mostly a November TBR book. I did, however, start it this morning which means I can totally count that prompt as fulfilled! This is the next book for #FirstLawAlong with the Catch-Up Bookclub and the second standalone in the series.

From what I understand it is basically one long book about a single battle which doesn’t have me super excited, but I’m here to give it a fair shot. It is only 23 hours on audio so it will be my commute book for the foreseeable future – using my very new, every expensive bluetooth speaker (aka my new car).

In other reading, I started TRIPPING ARCADIA by Kit Mayquist over the weekend and I am loving it so far. I’ve been reading it on audio while starting a new crochet blanket and it made for the perfect cozy reading night last night.

What are you trying to fit in before the month ends? #CurrentlyReading anything fantastic that should be on my TBR? I’d love to hear!
