October Reading Progress. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐ŸŽƒ

I personally had wished that I got more reading done this month than I did, but any reading is a good thing! ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Started out the month of October going strong with finishing โ€œYou Shouldnโ€™t Have Come Hereโ€ by Jeneva Rose. It was a pretty decent one! Iโ€™d say it was 4/5 stars for me. I will say it has many mixed reviews, but like anything you can make up your own opinion if you want to give it a shot!

Next stop- I flew through โ€œThe Perfect Marriageโ€ also by Jeneva Rose. Which- if you didnโ€™t know is also being adapted into a movie! ๐ŸŽฅ

Of course, after reading APM- I had to move into reading The Perfect Divorce!! These two books were pretty entertaining, and kept me intrigued!

I then started one of my ARC reads- Saturn Returning by Kim Narby. This book is so good so far! Iโ€™m not even halfway through yet- because for me itโ€™s kinda hefty. ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ˜… there are 3450 pages. ๐Ÿ“ƒ

I also messed up and got behind- and had to renew it because I ran out of time! ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I started listening to my ALC- The Mad Wife by Megan Church. There are some trigger warnings at the beginning and the author has a note that lets you know that if itโ€™s too heavy, you can put down and come back. I love when they include notes like that! So far itโ€™s pretty good- and I will be finishing this one off soon!

I know I didnโ€™t read much in October. Hoping November will be much better!

Which ones are you adding to your TBR? ๐Ÿ‘€
