Happy Halloween! It is the last day of October and this month seems to have flown by. It has been another busy month. I turned 25, went to a concert, did some shopping and even had a few days away. Here is what happened in October!
What I Read in October!
This year has gone way too quickly. I cannot believe we only have a couple of months of 2022 left. I read a total of 10 books throughout October. I wanted to read a lot of comfort YA this month mixed in with a few other things. So, I am back with another what I’ve read this month post which is a bunch of mini reviews for the book I read in October. Here they are!
Monochrome – Jamie Costello
16-year-old Grace awakes one morning to find the sky leaden, the sun huge ball of ash, the clouds like threatening rubble, and reports of unexplained accidents occurring on roads and rail. These are the hallmarks of an apocalyptic movie, but it quickly becomes apparent that everything, to the rest of her family, seems normal; Grace is one of only a handful of people in the country who are seeing the world in shades of grey.
She Drives Me Crazy – Kelly Quindlen
After losing spectacularly to her ex-girlfriend in their first game since their break up, Scottie Zajac gets into a fender bender with the worst possible person: her nemesis, the incredibly beautiful and incredibly mean Irene Abraham. Things only get worse when their nosey, do-gooder moms get involved and the girls are forced to carpool together until Irene’s car gets out of the shop.
The Other Ones – Fran Hart
Sal lives in a haunted house. He longs to be ordinary, but when the strangest of strangers arrives on his doorstep – a fellow outcast called Pax – his life grows even more complicated. Sal goes on to develop an unlikely friendship with Pax, whose love for all things spooky drew him to the house and its inhabitants. But as the two grow closer, the true nature of the hauntings is gradually revealed. Will Sal find the courage to conquer his ghosts, or will he risk losing Pax for good?
Heartbreak Houseshare – Emily Merrill
Fresh out of university in Manchester and struggling to climb the career ladder in London, Flick’s devastated when her boyfriend dumps her with no warning and leaves her looking for a new place to live. Being forced into a houseshare with three complete strangers isn’t exactly how Flick saw things going. But the residents of Carlisle Avenue are quickly on hand to help her navigate the ups and downs of the life she’s currently winging.
The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera – Quote
I recently finished reading The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera and I adored it. It broke my heart and exceeded all my expectations surrounding the prequel. There are so many beautiful quotes in this book. So, I wanted to do what I normally do with a book that I enjoy, which is pick a quote from it and get designing.
Ophelia After All – Racquel Marie
Ophelia Rojas knows what she likes: her best friends, Cuban food, rose-gardening, and boys - way too many boys. Her friends and parents make fun of her endless stream of crushes, but Ophelia is a romantic at heart. She couldn't change, even if she wanted to. So when she finds herself thinking more about cute, quiet Talia Sanchez than the loss of a perfect prom with her ex-boyfriend, seeds of doubt take root in Ophelia's firm image of herself. Add to that the impending end of high school and the fracturing of her once-solid friend group, and things are spiraling a little out of control.
Seoulmates – Susan Lee
Hannah Cho had the next year all planned out—the perfect summer with her boyfriend, Nate, and then a fun senior year with their friends. But then Nate does what everyone else in Hannah’s life seems to do—he leaves her, claiming they have nothing in common. He and all her friends are newly obsessed with K-pop and K-dramas, and Hannah is not. After years of trying to embrace the American part and shunning the Korean side of her Korean American identity to fit in, Hannah finds that’s exactly what now has her on the outs.
