October Rewind: Book Haul, Reviews, & Recap

• Omari and the People by Stephen Whitfield
• Iron Cast by Destiny Soria

I only finished two books in October, both were for blog tours or else I probably wouldn’t have struggled to finish those either. Iron Cast was my favorite of the two. I really loved the characters, the early 1900s setting, and the gritty crime noir feel.

I also started A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas. I’m a little over 50% done as of writing this post. I’m still having mixed feelings about this series overall. I liked ACOTAR in the end, but I’m having the same trouble with ACOMAF that I had with that one, which is just that it’s too long. I don’t mind reading massive books as long as I love the characters and there’s enough action and subplots to sustain. So far, I’m just not getting that satisfaction.

Needless to say, I totally BOMBED the Halloween Read-A-Thon TBR. Womp, womp.

Book Haul

I haven’t taken any pictures but books I purchased in October are:

• An Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas

I won an ARC of The Lovely Reckless by Kami Garcia.

I downloaded 3 eBooks:

• The Dead Room by Stephanie Erickson
• Mindspeak by Heather Sunseri

November TBR

I’m supposed to read Flashfall by Jenny Moyer for a blog tour, and I will hopefully finish A Court of Mist and Fury and A Monster Calls before the end of the month.
