Monthly Recap: October 2019

October!

October is the most awaited month of the year for me! For someone who tried her best to dress witchy and dark all year round October makes me feel that there's an actual reason for it! I like to think that but Halloween isn't very popular in Brazil. At least in my small town trick or treating was never a thing and dressing up isn't something people do here. It could be different in other much bigger cities but I don't know for sure. Though, for the first time in all the years I've lived in this town, there's an actual haunted house type of attraction in the mall! I took some photos in front of it to make sure I wasn't hallucinating it but you won't catch me going inside it. I have enough things that scare me I don't need to add to that list. I hope you had an awesome Halloween! Here's to a great November!

Books I Read & Listened

To In October

• The Darkest Star By Jennifer L. Armentrout - I want to scream from the high heavens how amazingly wonderful this book is! (My review is live here!)

• Wicked Thorne By Kim Loraine - I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did! I really enjoy this author's writing style and I can't explain what it is or why. (My review is live here!)

• ALIEN LOVE: Ella & Krian By Vera Elle Unita - This had so much potential but unfortunately, it fell short. The world-building was seriously lacking. (My review is live here!)

• The Quarterback Alpha By Emma Wolfe - I have SO many questions. First of all, what the heck did I just read because it sure as heck wasn't an academy novel or a paranormal romance novel. (My review coming soon!)

• Defending Chloe By Susan Stoker - I'll be honest and say that as much as I loved this book I skimmed through quite a bit of it. I know, I know! I'm a bad bad book dragon and I should be shamed but hear me out! (My review is live here!)

• Bear's Protected By Layla Silver - If this had been a full-length novel it would have rocked my socks off. This novella had SO much potential! (My review coming soon!)

• Spartan Heart By Jennifer Estep - If you only knew how much I wanted to adore this novel! I wanted to like it so much that I gave it a shot in two different formats and two years apart from each other because I initially DNFed this as an eARC in 2017. (My review coming soon!)

• Raised in Fire By K. F. Breene - I wasn't expecting much from this book, yet it still managed to kind of bore me. (My review coming soon!)

•  Untamed Delights By Suzanne Wright - This is the second novel I've read by this author and it still feels like something is missing. (My review coming soon!)
