I wonder if I can squeeze in one more read before the end of the month to get a third bingo 🤔🤔🤔

#BookspinBingo

Anyone else feel like it‘s too soon? Where did September go?

My DNFs are not on here but here‘s the mostly complete calendar.

#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #OctoberWrapUp

This was my first go with this author and I really liked it. Can‘t wait to pick up the next in the series.

#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #OctoberWrapUp

It was a pretty good reading month.

#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #OctoberWrapUp

Time for my October Wrap Up so I apologize now for the onslaught of posts.

I got a BINGO! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #OctoberWrapUp

17 books finished, four of which were rereads..I was only disappointed by two, which is a definite win. Of course, this doesn‘t count the three that were so bad I bailed. 😂 I cannot decide between Divine Rivals and Liar City for my favorite read this month. They were both fantastic. #octoberwrapup

#BookspinBingo board is ready to go. Basically I just want to read for #Scarathlon in the middle of 4 books that count right now so let‘s hope I can concentrate and earn a ton of points for my team.

October‘s TBR is shockingly light on spooky season books. I have plenty on my shelves, just very few that are calling to me. It will be interesting to see what my wrap up looks like on the 31st. 🤔 #OctoberTBR

October #Bookspin list is ready to go. We are heavy on the #Scarathlon @Emilymdxn #SkeletonCrew reads and I‘ll probably use a spinner to pick something off the TBR.

@TheAromaofBooks

Finally got caught up on my Wrapups and most of my “reviews”. Woohoo!

#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #OctoberWrapUp

Finished #BookspinBingo board for October. I was so close to a bingo but just couldn‘t finish The Honeys in time🤦🏾‍♀️.

@TheAromaofBooks

I won‘t finish anything else today, so I finish October with 16 completed books. I had hoped to finish a couple more, but I‘m not unhappy with the total. I finished a lot of great books, both new-to-me and fun rereads. The top two rows were my favorites, but the only one I rated less than 3.5 stars was Coraline. Sorry, Mr. Gaiman. It just wasn‘t for me. #octoberwrapup #octoberstats

I didn‘t do great for #OutstandingOctober My focus definitely needs more focus. I did manage to finish two books but I was 244 pages short of my goal. Win some, lose some.

Updated #BookSpinBingo board. 7 reads completed and not one bingo 😒 it‘s okay though. I have a little more time before the month ends. Lol

#Scarathlon inspired #BookspinBingo ready to go. I‘m still slumping but hopefully I‘ll get 10 books read this month.

My overly enthusiastic #octobertbr has been adjusted to remove the books I finished in September. I‘m carrying over 2 books from September, and I have a couple of non-seasonal reads to get to, including my work book club selection, People of the Book. I know I won‘t get to everything, but I‘m taking a week off work, so I hope to make a big dent in my collection of spooky books. 🖤

Okay here are most of the games, challenges and readathons I‘m participating on for #Scarathlon I‘m sure this will evolve over the month but it‘s a great start. I‘m excited.

#Scarathalon2022 @Clwojick #TeamSlaughter

Halloween #Bucketlist ready to go. I can‘t tell If this is too many or too few activities but I can‘t overthink it any more today. Can‘t wait to get started this weekend.

*edited to include catching up on reviews. I‘m like 20 in the hole 😳

#Scarathalon2022 @Clwojick #TeamSlaughter

A #Scarathlon heavy Spook-tacular #Bookspin #Doublespin #BookspinBingo list ready to go. For October we will test my ability to follow a more specific TBR. As a mood reader, this will be the real challenge. 🤣

Eek! Totally forgot about the team watch/reads. I‘ve had the Joanne Fluke series on my TBR for years so this is my sign to start it, right?

#Scarathalon2022 @Clwojick #TeamSlaughter

I present your my #Scarathlon #Watchlist

I really can‘t predict the mood of what I will actually watch but this is what I definitely want to see.

#Scarathalon2022 @Clwojick #TeamSlaughter

Witches and vampires and murders, oh my.

Her is my extremely overcrowded List of #Scarathlon hopefuls (aka my October TBR) I‘m a mood reader so I hope I have something to cover every mood. I‘m not a horror fan but I love paranormal so I‘m leaning into it hard.

@Clwojick #TeamSlaughter #Scarathalon2022

2✨ This was my least favorites so far. A character experienced a major trauma and Mia was “fixing” it herself. Needless to say it didn‘t go well and they ended up in therapy anyways. Using intimacy as a cure may be a good idea, but getting help is definitely okay when you have been through something horrific. Read for #roaringwolf -heat wave @Littlewolf1

Alice is not a social cat, but Callie was this cat. Miss you bunches Callie Cat. 💔❤️‍🩹💛

There is a lot in this post. I‘m going to finish as much of these as I can for the #JoysofJune readathon as well as over the weekend. The City We Became is for my IRL Bookclub Sunday 😬, Fruit of the Drunken Tree is for #FoodandLit and Uncle Toms Cabin is for #PicklesChallenge. There is slot but doable for a week I hope. If I can I‘m also going to add more to the list.

Part 2 of my super late wrap up post.

Better late than never. Part 1

#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #OctoberWrapUp

And that‘s a wrap on October! I really thought this was a bad month, but despite several bails, I finished 19 books! Granted, very few of these are standouts, but at least I finished on a high with Singapore Noir. (Books listed in reverse order of completion because there were too many 3-star reads to make rating order meaningful). #octoberwrapup

I wonder if I can finish one more before tomorrow?

#BookspinBingo

Well October is almost over and it looks like I will not be getting any bingos even if I finish my three in progress books. There‘s always November right?

I did get my #Bookspin and #Doublespin reads done. That‘s a first! 🎉

#BookspinBingo

My October #BookspinBingo board is pretty much my TBR for the month. I‘ve been really excited about this. I guess because there a few books I‘ve been beyond ready to read🤷🏾‍♀️. IDK but it‘s here and I‘m already off to the races as I started Crave during my delivery this morning. I hope everyone have a great reading month and complete all their goals.

Also big thanks to @TheAromaofBooks tracking this challenge can‘t be easy but you make it ⬇️

Weirdly unnumbered October #Bookspin list. I had a great time with #BookspinBingo in September so let‘s see if I can do it again.

*EDIT 9/29/21 made some changes to my reading lineup. And tired to add headphones for audiobooks but litsy doesn‘t seem to like that. 🙄

Super lazy October rundown. I‘ve been really lax with reviews and barely tracking reads and I‘m not putting any pressure on myself to do more right now. 🤷🏾‍♀️

#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #OctoberWrapUp

Mid month check in. October is going well!

Is anyone here participating in the #ARCtober challenge? I‘ve only listed 4 books but my reading had been so slow lately I probably won‘t even get two done. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I‘m still going to try though.

#October TBR. Trying to set some intentions this month. Worked pretty good last month so let‘s see.

Also I wish you could see this while beautiful template that LibraryGoblin shared on IG. You can always check her highlights.
