October 2021 Reading Wrap Up

Monthly wrap up banner

Can you believe its already November! I am extremely sad that October and Halloween has passed. I feel like I barely got to celebrate it outside of decorating my porch. This year has defiantly gone by very fast. I did get a lot of reading done in October though so I count that as a success.

As usual, I read mostly paranormal romances this month. I did dip my toe in a few other genres this month though so I think it was still successful with variety.

It seems this month I read a lot of opposites attract and LGBTQ books. The Dragon Kin series that I reread this month had a lot of opposites attract couples which are very enjoyable and unique.

Like usual, most of my reading was done through purchased ebooks but I did check out quite a few library books this month. Also got the whole Tails of Stallion Ridge series free off the authors website.

Most Read Author:

This month I did a lot of rereading after the first week so I mainly read Jennifer Estep and G. A. Aiken. But I started the month off by reading a good portion of Maz Maddox’s backlog of books, and I highly recommend the Stallion Ridge series if are looking for a weird western series. Its paranormal, LGBTQ, and a western all rolled into one and I loved it.

Goodreads Challenge Update: 

2021 Goodreads Reading Challenge completed

I hit my Goodreads goal on the first of this month! So now I am quite a bit past it but I was excited that I reached it three months early.
