Hey Pandas!
I know that I say this at the end of every single month but holy hell this month went so fast and it’s almost the end of the year?! How though?! I don’t understand where the entire year has gone, it’s gone too fast for its own good. October was a pretty good month though so here’s a quick rundown of everything I got up to!
Holy crap only 2 more books to go!

I’ve had a surprisingly good reading month. As I’ve gone back to uni to start my Masters I wasn’t sure if I would have enough time to keep up with my fictional reading but I think I’ve done pretty well! By the end of the month (31st) I will have read 2 books for Black History Month, 2 ARCs, and 2 Halloween reads! Unfortunately, I am still stuck on Defy the Worlds and need to actually finish it at some point next month…

I feel pretty happy looking back over all of the content I posted this month as I was going through a bit of a chaotic spell with regular posting. Next month I want to try and focus on continuing a good output but also throwing in more unique articles as well as officially launching my sensitivity reading service!
Hope everyone has had a great October and Happy Halloween to everyone!

In The Vanishers’ Palace was really good and unique in my opinion.

I felt like October went by so slow for me. I agree that the year flew by as a whole though. I can’t believe there is only two months left! Nice job reading six books in October! I was able to finally get a few ARCs read this month as well.
