This was so much fun. Thank you for hosting @PuddleJumper and @Emilymdxn for being a great team captain. My apologies for the dwindled posts, I have shingles. I have still been racking up the points tho'.

Finishing up with the tagged for my last read of October. #LetterX for #AtoZReadathon @Texreader

I've finally read this remarkable classic; a suitable read at this time of the year, as there is nothing scarier than war and it is all the more scarier that such horrors are still happening.

"What do they expect of us if a time ever comes when the war is over? Through the years our business has been killing;–it was our first calling in life. Our knowledge of life is limited to death. What will happen afterwards? And what shall come out of us?"

‘I Spy the Stranger‘ by Jean Rhys

Beautifully written and strikingly vivid.

I have too many feels for this story that Arden put together!

I found this to be a great read, at times an ode to the war and the people affected, and others time a magical tale laced with hope, and dash of madness yet highly detailed that I never lost my place or the realities of the time. To my surprise, the characters had to navigate through the war and it's nightmares but also their adaptation to seeing their world transformed.

Fellow Tolkien Readers,
How are we doing on the readalong? I apologize that life has gotten in the way again, so I‘m a bit behind as well as not sharing much. I just finished chapter 6 today, ending with Tolkien going off to war and wondering if he will ever see Edith again.

Such a beautiful story. Loved the historical background, the mystery and the feelings. I liked reading Freddie's parts more than Laura's, but aa an onlychild it waa touching to read about their love for each other. The story totally absorbed me, but also reminded me how disastrous WWI was.

I‘m very late posting my goals for @TheAromaofBooks #birthdaybashreadathon and late wishing her a happy birthday. I won‘t possibly read all of this before tomorrow but I‘m making progress on all.

I‘m finally getting caught up on my reading and readathons! First book of #spookoween completed and nearly 14 hours reading time towards my monthly goal of 31 hours for #31by31

I give this book a soft pick as it was light on plot and sadly a bit dull. It tells the tale of a young girl that binds books in Oxford England during WW1 as she dreams of attending university.
