Happy October! I can't believe we are into October and it's really starting to feel like fall. This is my favorite time of year and I am so excited. We have football back (Go Broncos!), hockey comes back soon (Go Aves Go!), the general merriment of people is higher with impending holidays and good cheer and I love the cooler weather! So, September was a slower month for me. Things picked up later in the month-ish, but I just needed a little bit of break. I ended up not picking up a book for the first 8 days. My reading will start to taper as we hit the end of the year since I'll have more games to watch and need to get moving on crafting Christmas presents. Hopefully I can still get to at least 10-15 books a month. If me reading really starts to taper, I'll probably start posting every other day instead of daily, but we'll see what happens! Thankfully I really outdid myself in August so I didn't get too behind with posts last month.
I have several readathons planned and ongoing through the month. Last month I had the start of Fall in Love and Bang in the Night Bingo. Today starts the weekend of Love in the Night Readathon Round 3 and also just announced is the Paranormal Romance Readathon. I'll have my tbr posted for that tomorrow!
As always stats are below. Books are listed in ordered read. Let's get to it!

💗 I had a lot of really good reads this month even though I didn't have many. I absolutely adored Ali Hazelwood's debut novel and am so excited to finally start Ilona Andrews's Kate Daniels series. I also really loved Ella Maise's Love & Hate duet. My least favorite read would have to be Something About Emmaline, but I did enjoy it better than the previous book I read by Elizabeth Boyle. I don't know if she's quite redeemed, but we'll see if I end up picking up another one of her books.
I'm super excited to continue the Kate Daniels readalong this month and also for a couple book club books! I'm also excited to get to more paranormal with the spoopy vibes and can't wait to start getting to some more cozy and winter vibes as well. I keep saying it, but I love this time of year and can't wait. I am so ready for hot tea/sweater weather. I'm excited to see how well I end up doing on the various readathons and challenges I'm participating in. Hopefully I can get some good reads in. I feel like this month I did a good job picking up books I knew I was in the mood for and would like. Also almost everything was in paperback and I also had a lot of new authors. Hopefully I can continue reading more new authors throughout the end of the year!
How did your reading go last month?
Bookishly Yours,
