October 2015 Wrap Up

Well, I think it is totally safe to say that this month was quite crazy when it comes to reading.  I read 12 books.  Honestly, I probably read a couple more picture books than I listed on here...and it is very likely that I read those picture books more than once!

Speaking of picture books, this year is my little girls first Halloween!!!!!  You may have noticed that I tend to refer to her as my bug, so naturally I am dressing her up as a Lady Bug.  I have actually been dressing her up in Halloween themed clothes all month though.  I was super excited when it finally hit October 1st so that she could wear them!  I have to be careful though, the weather here is still pretty warm (dang SoCal weather) and Halloween themed clothes like to be long sleeved and/or have pants.  I keep my house super cold though, so it works out I guess.

As far as the land of the blog goes, I have some things in the works.  I am signing up to participate in more blog tours and I am trying to read at least one self/indy published author a month.  Oh! And I am also going to try to fit in more backlist titles!  Also, I am going to try to do more book related conversational posts and not just have a bunch of reviews.  Don't worry though, I will most definitely be posting a lot of reviews.  So you can expect some new "features" to pop up.


All in all, October was a crazy month for books.  November will be bringing a lot of blog tour stops and some really fun giveaways.  

Psst - one of the ones I am most excited about is going live on November 3rd!
