I have no idea how it is the end of October already. I'm baffled by how it is near to the end of the year. I am back with another what I read this month posts! Throughout October I somehow managed to read a grand total of 15 books, so it has been an absolutely excellent reading month for me! I have a lot of thoughts I want to share on the books that I read in October, so I'm going to do mini reviews for a couple, mention others and declare my love for a few! Here is what I read in October!

The Kissing Booth – Film Review
This film is adapted from the YA novel of the same name by Beth Reekles. It is certainly aimed at the younger end of teenagers and feels as though it would be loved by 14 to 15-year olds. I will say straight away that for that reason amongst others I was quite disappointed in both films in the series. Although the first one seems more thought out in my opinion and the second film felt rushed and unorganised. I have to say though I did enjoy putting them both on the TV and being able to zone out with a film for a while without having to concentrate much.
Out of Love – Hazel Hayes
As a young woman boxes up her ex-boyfriend's belongings and prepares to see him one last time, she wonders where it all went wrong, and whether it was ever right to begin with. Burdened with a broken heart, she asks herself the age-old questions, is love really worth it?
