October 2019 Wrap Up!

Happy Halloween!!! I usually say that a month went by super fast, but I thought October took forever. Maybe it's because I've been waiting for Halloween? Anyways, It's also kind of crazy that it's over 😀 October Reads I read ten books this month! That's the same amount as last month, so it's cool that I'm…

The thing that really upped this book to the top of the TBR was when the author told me that every single blind date in this book was based off a real terrible blind date. (She also told me that she picked them out of 700 stories. Talk about crazy!) I was so intrigued. And…

Compulsively Readable Psychological Drama || Re-read: Wall of Crosses
