My reading really took a hit this month due to my surgery and hospital stay
OCTOBER by the numbers:
Total books read: 7
Published in 2022: 6
Backlist titles: 1
Five star reads: 2
Debut novels: 1
Books that are part of a series: 2
Goodreads challenge: 110/120 (92%)

My armchair travels took me to Staffordshire, England (The Other Side of Night ); East Sussex, England (Life, Slightly); London, England (Under a Veiled Moon) ; unknown setting (We Spread) ; Vermont, USA (Valley of Secrets) ; Iceland (Red as Blood) ; and finally Hampshire, England (Parting the Veil)
In this past month I’ve read SEVEN titles.
I enjoyed every one of them, some more than others of course.

It’s always nice when all your monthly reads are good ones. Seven books with all you have had going on is wonderful.

Oh 😊 thanks. I usually aim for at least ten per month because I have over 180 review commitments. It is a case of “biting off more than I can chew”. 😍

7 is a great number. If it was me I probably wouldn’t have gotten any reading done. I hope you’re having a speedy recovery!!

I’m really curious about “We Spread”, as I’ve read both the authors’ other books and enjoyed them. If you’ve read any of his other books too, how do you think they compare?

Nikki I have read both his other books. All of his novels are unsettling and thought-provoking, each in different ways… I liked this one as much as his first, and more than ” Foe”.

Interesting! That makes me even more excited for it 🙂 I also preferred “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” over “Foe”
