October reading RECAP 📚🧡

October was a good reading month for me! I read more books than last month, and many of them were 4+ ⭐️ reads 📚🖤

I got to read my new favorite romance book, Tourist Season (and got to meet Brynne Weaver and Scarlett St. Clair because of it!), read a book I’ve been wanting to read for a while, I Who Have Never Known Men, and started a couple others that I will finish in November.

Overall a successful and fulfilling reading month ❤️‍🔥 How was your October? What was your favorite read of the month?

September was a good reading month. I assumed the back-to-school energy would allow me to read more books, but I deeply enjoyed what I read.
