Here‘s my review. This book in my review is not in the Litsy database so I‘m adding it under another book by the author that has a similar title.

Here‘s my review.

#kindleunlimited

I just saw that Book Outlet is having a Black Friday Sale right now. It looks like I might need to buy some new books. My goal is to read my physical TBR before adding more books to it but I deserve some new books. It‘s a good deal.

Yay! I was approved for more Netgalley books that I requested. I have a lot of Netgalley books to read and my ratio on there sucks but I don‘t care anymore. I told myself I would stop requesting books on there but I can‘t stop. It brings me joy. I‘ve already tanked my ratio. I might as well keep requesting. If I get approved, great. If I get declined, that‘s fine too.

1. I like when it‘s raining outside because I can either read inside and listen to the rain coming down outside or I can read outside under the covered patio while it‘s raining. I actually read outside under my covered patio when it was raining outside recently and I really liked that because it was quiet.

2. I don‘t have one. I‘m mood reading this month.

2. Tagged! 3 words to describe this book: Witchfinder, Healer, England. This book is on Kindle Unlimited. I don‘t know what to think about this book. I don‘t know if I like the writing style but it‘s giving me something to read. If I can‘t get into it then I‘ll DNF it.

Here‘s my review for this book.

#kindleunlimited

I decided to sign back up for the Amazon First Reads program and I chose my free book for the month. This is a screenshot of my Kindle app currently. I picked Mirror Me and I got the free bonus short story by Fredrik Backman. I‘ve never read anything by Fredrik Backman. I was signed up before and unsubscribed because I wasn‘t reading the books. I still haven‘t read the books from the program but maybe I will next month.

Here‘s my review for this book I just finished reading.

I found another alternative to Everand since I cancelled my Everand subscription. I subscribed to another audiobook service called Anyplay and it says that it has unlimited listening. I have a 7 day free trial for it right now. I‘m looking forward to trying it out. I also signed up for a 30 day free trial of Kobo Plus but I didn‘t find anything I wanted to read on there so I cancelled my subscription to Kobo Plus.

Here‘s my #kindleunlimited books I have on my Kindle right now. These feel like they‘re perfect for the mood I‘m in. A lot of these are spooky or paranormal and that‘s what I‘m in the mood to read right now. I also have some thrillers on my shelf in my room I could read. I‘ve had my eye on some of the thrillers on my physical TBR too.

I signed up for the #wintergames but I wasn‘t sure if I wanted to. My dog passed away on Oct 25. I don‘t know if I‘m going to be in the Christmas spirit this year. I‘m still kind of in a funk but I don‘t want to miss out on the fun. It‘s my second year participating. I‘ll be mood reading again in December.

Here‘s my #readyourkindle picks for November. I don‘t know what I‘ll end up reading. I‘m taking it easy with my reading this month.

Here‘s my progress in this book. It‘s not what I‘m used to reading from Stephen King. I was expecting this book to be similar to his other books that I‘ve read. I‘ve read Carrie, Christine, Misery, The Shining, Doctor Sleep and IT and I enjoyed those but this is kind of boring. It‘s sweet and sentimental but it doesn‘t feel right coming from a horror writer. Will I finish it? I don‘t know. Maybe but I‘m not having a good time reading it.

Here‘s my #bookspinbingo board for November. I really like this Fall background I chose for my board along with the fonts. I was playing around on Canva recently and I was wondering if I could upload more fonts to Canva and I discovered through a Google search that I can so I uploaded some new fonts on to Canva because I don‘t always like the fonts that they have on there. The fonts on this bingo board are fonts that I uploaded.

My #doublespin pick is one of the short stories I‘ll be reading for the #noplacelikeholmes readalong and my #bookspin pick is a mood read.

This is why I cancelled my subscription. If I kept my subscription, would me and everyone else be forced to switch to the new credit based system? Well either way, I‘m done. They‘re no longer going to be “the Netflix for books”. I hope someone else will make a subscription service that is like a Netflix for books but until they do, I still have Libby and Audible that I can use.

I decided to start this book. I always want to read Stephen King every Fall but I never feel like I have time to read him. This book is different from other Stephen King books I‘ve read but it‘s not bad. I‘ve read The Shining, Doctor Sleep, Carrie, Christine, Misery and IT. I liked all of those books but I still want to read more of his books.

I decided to cancel Everand. I don‘t like that they‘re trying to be like Audible. I signed up for this service when it was still Scribd back in 2020 during the pandemic and I stayed subscribed when they changed their name to Everand. I liked them because of the unlimited listening with no credits but now, they want to be like Audible which sucks. I‘ll try to use their service as much as I can before my subscription ends.

I just saw this on my Everand app. Why are they doing this? So basically, this is similar to Audible except instead of credits, you have unlocks. I don‘t like it. Will my subscription be worth keeping if I decide to stay with my current plan? I already have Audible. I don‘t want something that‘s just like Audible. I‘m disappointed because I signed up for this service in 2020 during the pandemic. What‘s wrong with having unlimited listening?

Here‘s my #readyourkindle list for November. I‘m going to be mood reading and using Kindle Unlimited this month. I didn‘t read any of my Kindle books last month. I had 67 books on my Oct TBR last month and then on Oct 25, my dog passed away and I decided to just mood read for the rest of the month. My TBR will not be as ambitious as it was last month. I‘m looking forward to just taking it easy with my reading this month.

Here‘s my #bookspinbingo list for November. I had 67 books on my Oct TBR but this month‘s list won‘t be as ambitious. I‘m going to be mood reading all month. I still have a lot of Netgalley books to read but I‘m looking forward to mood reading this month. I need a mood reading month.

1. My cd I ordered from Taylor Bradshaw arrived in the mail today. He just released a live album.
2. I was approved for more Netgalley ARCs
3. This T-shirt I ordered online from Piper & Ivy arrived in the mail this week.
4. I wore this shirt on Halloween.
5. I drew this oracle card for the week from my ocean life oracle deck.

My dog passed away on Fri, Oct 25 so I‘m looking forward to listening to my new CD the most.

I did this Halloween tarot spread I found online for myself and this is the messages I picked up intuitively.

1. 4 of wands: Have fun
2. 7 of cups: Explore my options
3. 6 of pentacles: Being charitable
4. 5 of swords: Feeling defeated is my strength
5. the hanged man: Stop putting limitations on myself
6. king of wands: Lead or initiate more things
7. knight of swords: Remember the times when I was brave
8. 2 of wands: Make decisions

Here‘s my November TBR along with my goals for the month. My TBR will not be as ambitious as it was last month. Last month, I had 67 books on my TBR. I only read 9 of them and mood read for the rest of the month after my dog passed away on Oct 25. 67 books was too much. Oct was rough for me. I know I have a lot of ARCs to read right now but I really need to mood read for a while. I‘m hoping Nov will be better for me.

October Book Haul Part 2. I was looking at how much I spent in my Sept Book Haul and in the Oct Book Haul and I spent more money this month on books. Last month, I spent $29.41 and in Oct, I spent $109.41. I didn‘t realize I spent that much money.

#bookhaul

October Book Haul Part 1

#bookhaul

I had 67 Netgalley books on my Oct TBR. I read 9 of them and then on Oct 25, my dog passed away and I decided to mood read for the rest of the month. There was no way I was going to read all 67 books on my Oct TBR and a lot of them were nonfiction books. Nonfiction requires more brain power and I‘m not in the mood for that anymore so I‘m going to mood read in Nov and probably in Dec too just so I can read whatever I want.

1. The Hound Of The Baskervilles: I liked this one. I read it for the #noplacelikeholmes readalong.
2. Rebecca: I didn‘t like this book very much. I rated it 3 stars.
3. Mexican Gothic: I didn‘t like this book very much. I rated it 3 stars.
4. The Shining: I enjoyed this one so much that I read it twice and I liked the movie.

Other than these books, I haven‘t read a lot of the other books that were on this list.

#threelistthursday

I really enjoyed the tagged book this week. I listened to a radio drama version of the story done by the Colonial Radio Players. I really liked it. This book is perfect for Halloween.

These are the books I read for 4 readathons: #noplacelikeholmes, #spookoween, #bookspinbingo & #hauntedshelf. I read most of my Netgalley ARCs that I had on my Oct TBR and then on Oct 25, my dog passed away and I decided to mood read to finish out the last few spots on my list because I wasn‘t in the mood for Netgalley books anymore and I‘m still not in the mood for Netgalley books so I‘ll be mood reading in November because I‘m still in a funk.

These are the books I read for 4 readathons: #noplacelikeholmes, #spookoween, #bookspinbingo & #hauntedshelf. I almost blacked out my bingo board again like last month but I don‘t really feel like reading anything else so I‘m okay with how I did on this.

Happy Halloween #skeletoncrew! Here‘s my points for #hauntedshelf. I didn‘t end up getting any points for Week 3 because I was using the Week 2 spreadsheet to track my Week 3 points and I got confused. I decided to add the dates to Weeks 4 and 5 so I would use the correct spreadsheets and that seemed to help me. On Oct 25, my dog passed away and my reading slowed down. I didn‘t read as much as I wanted to and I‘m still in a funk because of it.

This book is not on Litsy but it‘s on Kindle Unlimited. I looked at the trigger warnings for this extreme horror short story collection that I was approved for on Netgalley after I requested it and I‘ve decided that I‘m not going to read or review this book because I‘m sensitive and I think the stories would bother me. I didn‘t know that this was extreme horror. I thought it was just regular horror when I requested it.

Here‘s what my October TBR looks like now at the end of the month. I implemented my color coding system again. After my dog Toppy passed away on 10/25, I added a new section called Not Right Now which means I‘ll read the books later but not right now. I‘m not in the right headspace for nonfiction anymore. This was too much. This is 67 books. There was no way I was going to read all of these books this month.

This book counts for:

☑️ 1 hr of reading
☑️ other reads
☑️ 3 readathons (#spookoween, #hauntedshelf, #bookspinbingo)

1. I like both.
2. Buying a costume is easier than making one.
3. I like ghosts better than skeletons.
4. I like owls better than bats. I have an owl tarot deck and I like the images.
5. I like aliens better than mummies.
6. A scary movie marathon would be fun.
7. I‘ve never seen Casper.
8. I like both.
9. I would like to do this.
10. Doing this would be fun.
11. I‘m choosing both because I can‘t decide.

#wondrouswednesday

This is my reader summary from Fable. This is the Spooky theme and according to Fable, it‘s going away at the end of the month. I enjoyed seeing this when I was finishing books this month and I hope there‘s more holiday themed ones.

For #weeklyfavorites, I don‘t have any books to share because I DNF‘d 2 books. Friday morning at 5:30 AM on 10/25, my dog Toppy passed away and my reading has slowed down. I don‘t know what I‘m in the mood to read but I know that I‘m not in the mood for nonfiction anymore because I‘m not in the right headspace for it and I don‘t really want to read any books that will require a lot of brain power so I‘ll probably mood read in November.

Here‘s my review.

This book counts for:

☑️ 6 hrs of reading
☑️ 3 readathons (#spookoween, #hauntedshelf, #whimsicalreadsbookclub)
☑️ spooky or autumn read
☑️ TBR Read

#skeletoncrew

1. No but I might wear a Halloween shirt.

2. No. I haven‘t read any.
