October 2026 Reading Wrap-Up

โญ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ป๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿฆ‡โญ๏ธ

October had me fully embracing spooky season! A good portion of my TBR was filled with paranormal romance, witchy reads, demons, dark fantasy, and a little supernatural mystery. It was fun leaning into the darker, more magical side of romance this month.

Overall, October was the perfect mix of spooky, swoony, magical, and a little bit of everything!

แดแด„แด›แดส™แด‡ส€ ส™แดแดแด‹๊œฑสœแด‡สŸ๊œฐ : What I Read this Month

๐™ˆ๐™ฎ ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™จ:

๐Ÿ“– 16 Books
๐Ÿ“„ 6,283 Pages

Three 5 ๐‘บ๐’•๐’‚๐’“ โญ๏ธ
Thirteen 4 ๐‘บ๐’•๐’‚๐’“ โญ๏ธ

My fav 5 star this month was: Entities to Lovers by @mallorymarlowewrites

I got to attend the Jodi Picoult 30 Chapter Tour stop in OR, which was a great night. My favorite part was learning about the research that goes into her books. I could listen to her stories all day. Sheโ€™s captivating.

The hubs and I also got away for a long weekend in San Diego, just the two of us (sorry, kids ๐Ÿ˜‚). I got to visit two new-to-me bookstores, Mysterious Galaxy and Meet Cute. I always love visiting bookstores when we travel.

A few non-bookish highlights: We made it to our local farm to pick out pumpkins and definitely got our fill of apple cider donuts and apple slushies. We slowed down a bit this month, and it was a nice change of pace.

Hmm, will I hit 200 books this year? It was a stretch goal, but now that Iโ€™m getting so close, Iโ€™d love to make it happen. November and December can be a toss-up as life gets busy, so weโ€™ll see.

When it comes to ARCs, I definitely fell behind. I overcommitted, and balancing reading for fun with reading what I need to is a constant battle. Iโ€™m trying to get caught up so I can end the year in a good spot.

Total Books: 177
Total Pages: 77,868
