Goodreads Reading Challenge 2025 [Updated 10/31/25]

Happy Halloween!

I felt like I didn’t accomplish much reading this month, but as it turns out, I did. I finished eight books! Maybe it was simply that I expected to knock out a few more Halloween-themed cozy mysteries. Or maybe it’s because it took me so long to get through Jane Eyre

Anyway, here is what I read in October, complete with my ratings.

***

Don’t Look Behind You (Emily Kazmierski)

Rating: 3.5/4

The Girl from Rawblood (Catriona Ward)

Rating: 4/5

Suicide Forest (Jeremy Bates)

Rating: 3/5

Listen for the Lie (Amy Tintera)

What Lies in the Woods (Kate Alice Marshall)
