This last month went by so quickly. I had some lovely bookmail – some arcs, some bookish necklaces, and a fab bookmark.
My October 2016 book haul includes
ARCs
- Lyrebird by Cecila Ahern
- Brightwood by Tania Unsworth
- The Doorway and the Deep by K.E. Ormsbee
Ebooks
- My Friends Are All Strange by Margaret Lesh
- The French Impressionist by Rebecca Bischoff
Library Books
- Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson
What did I read in October?
- Iron Cast by Destiny Soria
- The Water and the Wild by K.E. Ormsbee
- Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
- Lyrebird by Cecila Ahern
This month was a very lucky month for me. I won TWO Goodreads giveaways and an Instagram giveaway! I didn’t read a ton of books, but I’m not upset, because Empire of Storms is crazy long! And it was incredibly intense. I’m really not sure where SJMaas is taking this story…but I feel like it is starting to blend a bit with ACOTAR. The styles of the books are starting to feel much more similar. When I first began reading ACOTAR it felt very distinct from Throne of Glass. Now…not so much.

Awesome Mark Twain bookmark that I won from @mybookbath in her Instagram contest with @beautiful.bibliophile.
