October Wrap Up and November TBR

The month of October started out really well, as far as reading goes. I read some amazing books in the beginning, and I was sure people would think I was crazy for rating most of them between four and five stars. Then, at the end of the month, things took a downward spiral, and I ended up really disliked the last two books that I read. But it's fine, November's going to be great, I can tell. 

Also in October, I went to stay at Tatum's house, and she gave me a bunch of books and DVDs, and she made me cry over fanvids. True story. Back home, I managed to get almost all of my November posts prepared, written or scheduled, which is thrilling because I've always wanted to be this far ahead with my posts. I love having space in between reading a book and posting about it. EEP.

Another thing that happened is Epic Recs was made public. I know, I can't contain my excitement either. You can read more about it here, if you wish. I definitely encourage signing up, because Judith and I are having an amazing time forcing each other to read books that we love!

Here are the books that I read in October, along with the ratings. Mostly.

1. The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer (4/5)

2. Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson (5/5)

3. Locke & Key, Vol. 2: Head Games by Joe Hill (?/5)

4. Shift by Hugh Howey (3/5)

5. Endless Knight by Kresley Cole (2/5)

6. The Trap by Andrew Fukuda (?/5)

7. The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness (?/5)

8. Premeditated by Josin L. McQuein (?/5)

9: Twinmaker by Sean Williams (?/5)

10: The Uprising by Lisa M. Stasse (?/5)

My life has been forever ruined changed by this book. It gave me a complete breakdown, and not many books have done that in the past couple of months. I was crying so hard at the end that I got a nosebleed, and now I'm just depressed. Tiger Lily is absolutely beautiful, and I highly recommend that everyone gives it a go. I'm not even a huge fan of Peter Pan, and yet I adored this. Please, PLEASE give it a go, because Jodi Lynn Anderson has a) real fucking talent, and b) a really evil vendetta against me. You can read my review here.

I'm hoping to finish a bunch of books in November, most of them being either review copies or ones that people have recommended to me. I'm excited, because I think November is going to be AWESOME.
