Hey, guys and welcome to my October wrap up! I tried to read as many books this month as I did last month, and I completely failed. I think I read about 9 or 10 books last month? And then this month, I read 5. I don’t know what’s been the matter with me, I’ve just been taking a very long time to finish one book.
Anyway, let’s get on with the wrap-up! …

I’m trying to think of a different way to do book hauls. Would you like it better if I just included the pictures of the books and not the synopsis? Let me know!
Anyway! Let’s get on with the haul… …

Hello, there! AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER MONTHS WORTH OF NEW RELEASES! I’ve pre-ordered most of these books and I can’t wait for them to arrive and then I can read them straight away. Who am I kidding?

This meme was created by Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek. You pick a song that you really like and share it on Monday! What I love about this weekly meme is that I get to share my love of music with you. I’ll be completely honest, I mainly listen to KPop, but I do listen to a variety of music as well, so feel free to listen to some amazing music with me! …
I saw this post on Des’ blog and I thought that it was an amazing idea to share with you what books I was approved for on Netgalley on a weekly basis. For those of you who are regular readers of my website, you will know that I request A LOT of books off of NetGalley. I just can’t help myself. I see a pretty cover and BAM. I suddenly have 25 books that need reviewing.
Anyway, this week I was approved for these amazing bunch of books! …
