These months are just flying by too fast, but I think I got a lot of great reading done in October. This month I finished 18 books, and I read a couple of new favorites.
New favorites include:
I was really pleasantly surprised by this book. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was, and I loved the world that R.B. Holbrook created.
Although most reviews I read said Catching Fire was the weaker of the two in the series so far, I liked it better. There may not have been as much action, but I liked the character development and the plot movement better. Plus, after reading the first one, I didn't feel all that inspired to read a second one. I just didn't feel like it was a very good lead into a series (even though I did enjoy the book a lot). With Catching Fire, I can't wait to read the next one!
There were a few other books that I really enjoyed this month: Fablehaven, Graceling, and The Restorer's Journey. I feel like I had a really lucky reading month. Either that, or I was just mostly in a really good mood.
I had three DNF's this month, which is more than usual, but I've found as my TBR list grows longer and longer, I've got to give up when a book isn't drawing me in.
18 books? Wow -- that's lovely! I read Hunger Games, but haven't continued on. Yes, why read so-so books when there are so many others to explore? Enjoy!
