Monthly Wrap-up: October

Holy cow, my October was pretty dang productive reading-wise. Not so much with a the posting. I'm a wee bit behind, and now I'll have to catch up, which is going to be tricky because I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I'm really nervous, but I've been excited about this story idea for years so I'm hoping it goes well. 

How was your October? Allegiant, obviously, was a huge deal (still haven't read it so PLEASE no spoilers), but was there anything else that sparked your fancy? What books are you MOST EXCITED ABOUT for November? You'd better say The Fiery Heart, guys, because c'mon. Sydrian. The feels. The drama. The adventure. The making out on a table...or maybe they've moved on to new and more exciting locations (one could only hope!). Are you doing NaNo? Tell me all your bookish news! I wanna know!

Looking back...

  1. Sydrian! I'm so excited to read The Fiery Heart. :) Sadly, though, it's releasing during finals week, so I won't be starting it the day it comes out like I really want to.

    I'm also really excited about Crash Into You. I got accepted for it earlier this week, so it's waiting on my kindle for me to get to it.

    It looks like you had an awesome reading month! A lot of those (like Cress!!) look so good. I wish I had read half that many books, but October was really busy for me and I didn't get to finish a lot of them.

    Good luck on NaNoWriMo!

    1. I haven't been able to start on Fiery Heart yet either. CIY is awesome! You'll like it. Don't be ashamed of your reading. I happen to have a LOT of free time so I have the opportunity to read more than most people. Don't feel like you have to compare yourself to everyone else! :)

    1. I really, really enjoyed The Program. I can't wait to read The Treatment. It's such a unique story. I was totally pulled in.
