It has been a doozy of a month, and not in a good way. That’s very unfortunate, since October is typically my favorite month of the year. I still found time to read, though. I’ve been on a streak of interesting books, but I actually had one that I quit without finishing. The story was shaping up to be okay; however, the author couldn’t leave their personal opinions about racism out of the equation – which is fine to an extent, I just don’t need to read about it once every freakin’ paragraph.

Here are the books I did finish in October. I’m in a rush as I write this, so I will rate them but won’t bother with a short review.

Rune (Christopher Fowler)

The Only One Left (Riley Sager)

The Dead Children’s Playground (James Kaine)

As someone who is from Alabama, I had to read this novel that focused on the stories surrounding Maple Hill Cemetery and the Dead Children’s Playground. Let me tell you – it did not disappoint.

The Cotton Candy Massacre: Part Treats (Christopher Robertson)

Buried in a Good Book (Tamara Berry)

***

I am currently reading One of Us is Lying (Karen M. McManus), Finale (Stephanie Garber), and Chaos at the Lazy Bones Bookshop (Emmeline Duncan).

Progress: 70/75
