October 2016 Wrap Up

Jen

October seemed to be a pretty mixed month for me. I read some pretty average books but there were some fantastic books as well. I also made some good progress on my currently reading series. I didn't end up sticking too closely to my TBR and the themed books that I wanted to read in October, but I'm okay with that!

The Tin Woodman of Oz (Oz #12) by L. Frank Baum → 3/5

Sex Criminals Volume One: One Weird Trick by Matt Fraction & Chip Zdarsky → 4/5

Sex Criminals Volume Two: Two Worlds, One Cop by Matt Fraction & Chip Zdarsky → 3/5

Sex Criminals Volume Three: Three The Hard Way by Matt Fraction & Chip Zdarsky → 3/5

Prince Caspian (Chronicles of Narnia #4) by C.S. Lewis → 3.5/5

Finale (Hush, Hush #4) by Becca Fitzpatrick → 2/5

Anne of Windy Poplars (Anne of Green Gables #4) by L.M. Montgomery → 3/5

Frayed by Kara Terzis → 4/5

Trick by Natalia Jaster → 4.5/5

The House of Hades (Heroes of Olympus #4) by Rick Riordan → 4.75/5

No Virgin by Anne Cassidy → 3/5

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (#1) by Ransom Riggs → 2.5/5

Hollow City (Miss Peregrine’s #2) by Ransom Riggs → 3/5

Gemina (The Illuminae Files #2) by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff → 5/5

Gemina in particular deserves a special mention because I have been eagerly anticipating reading that book since I first read Illuminae almost a year ago and it was definitely my favourite book for the month!

I definitely didn't end up sticking to my goal of as many Goosebumps books as possible. I only read one and it wasn't even part of the Goosebumpsalong! Oh well. I did have a big slump, so audiobooks helped there, but I did manage to squeeze in a few books at the last minute.

Welcome To Dead House by RL Stine → 3/5
Doctor Who: The Runaway Train by Oli Smith → 3/5
Doctor Who: The Ring of Steel by Stephen Cole → 3/5
Doctor Who: The Jade Pyramid by Martin Day → 4/5
Gemina by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff → 5/5
Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven → 4/5
The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling → 4/5
