Hello everyone! Happy November!
I can’t believe that another month has flown by! Well October was pretty uneventful for me. I did a lot of homework and reading, but other than that I didn’t do much!
I hope you all had a wonderful month and a nice, quiet Halloween! ❤️
In October, I finished
- 12 Books Total
- 4 Physical Copies
- 2 Ebooks
- 6 Audiobooks
I managed to read 7 of the 9 books on my October TBR which I think is pretty good! 🎉
Favorites
Most Addictive: Bookish and the Beast
Will Stick with me The Longest: The Beauty in Breaking: A Memoir
Most Fascinating: Anxious People

All American Muslim Girl is one that I want to read! I love Backman’s other works so I definitely need to get to Anxious People at some point. And I also really like the sound of the bookcon fairytale inspired series and should read the first one. You read so much! I hope the readathon goes well in November x

Yeah! All American Muslim girl was really good and interesting! I loved Anxious People, and it made me want to read some of Backman’s other books! You should definitely read the Geekerella series if you’re interested. They’re cheesy, but I love them. I think the first one is my favorite, followed by the third, and then the second 🙃. Thanks for reading! Happy November!❤️
