October 2016 Recap

Ah, yes, today is already the 8th of November, isn't it? And here I am, just getting around to posting the October recap. Oops. XD

Without sugarcoating it, real life has been kicking my ass lately, hurling quite a few unexpected curveballs, or maybe beanballs would be more apt if you're a baseball fan. I've barely been getting the real life necessities done, so reading and blogging have pretty much been tossed aside for the past few weeks. Adulting is hard!

I'm slowly trying to get back on track and hope that heading back to YALLFest later this week will help kick-start my motivation to pick up a book and read it. I also hope to get back to regular commenting soon; I know I've been spotty at best with it.

October was such a blur that I was surprised to find that I actually did read some books and post some reviews, lol. I really enjoyed the 2 books I read last month, so I'm just choosing both as my October faves:

And here's one of my favorite quotes from the ARC of Cloudwish:

But maybe life couldn't be kept incubating indefinitely. Maybe it was ready to hatch a bit earlier, like right now, if only she'd play along.

  1. Awww try not to feel bad about real life taking over books and blogging - it happens to us all (unfortunately) LOL! I had a massive reading slump after EoS so I didn't get much reading done in October either if that helps. Hopefully November will be better for you ♥ I hope you have an absolute blast at YALLFest and I look forward to hearing (reading) all about it :)

    1. Thank you! ♥ We had a ton of fun last weekend, and, no surprise, real life has been so hectic since we got back that I still haven't written a recap, LOL. I hope you've been getting some reading done; we're totally going to finish out 2016 on a high note! :D
