September Reading Round-Up

 I feel like September really flew by! I've been having fun reading for Halloween Bingo and it continues until the 31st of  October. It's always nice to spend time in another genre, I really feel like it helps to keep all my romance genre reading from blurring together. 

September was my Random Number Generator month and I got the usual winners and losers from my GoodReads tbr, RNG even picked some Halloween Bingo books for me! I was able to use an RNG pick for both HB and the monthly TBRChallenge. Talk about feeling like I was winning at reading. Lol. 

October will be more ARCs and horror/spooky books as I work to get a bingo. I'm going to try and get my TBRChallenge book in but I'm a little nervous about squeezing it in, I'm hoping a book I read for HB might work or if one of my monthly themed books, October is Start a New Series, will end up working. I guess we'll see!

Happy spooky season, all :)

August Reading Round-Up

Not only am I doing a monthly round-up but I'm getting in early?!? Who am I even? Lol. If you've followed me for a while, you'll know what is coming up...Halloween Bingo! Every year I play this with some friends I made over on BookLikes. 

Look at my beautiful card for this year:

So, look for spooky books to start to creep into my reading during September and for me to lean into the Halloween vibes in October as I work to get a bingo.

👻👻👻

August was my Singles title month, I try to read books on my tbr that aren't in a series, letting random number generator pick them out. I read my usual ARCs and managed to read for the TBRChallenge this month by using a book I was half-way through but managed to meet the prompt. 

September is my personal theme month of Random Number Generator, basically I just let RNG pick off my GoodReads tbr. Wonder what fun awaits me 😊

Any other seasonal readers, will spooky reads start to creep into your reading schedule, too?

July Reading Round-up

I was up early this morning, so I thought, why not do a quick little round-up of what I read last month. I haven't done one in a while so I went to my tags and clicked on Monthly Roundup to refresh the ol' memory on how I formatted them. Y'all. My lying blog is telling me I haven't done a post like this since 2017???? I know that can't be right! One-hundred percent I just forgot to tag when I did this last. What year is it??? Lol. I forgot to tag is my new excuse. Oh you thought I forgot to do what you asked me to do? WRONG. I just forgot to tag it! Search into the ether.

July is my Recommendations month and Holidays in July, which rudely butted out my TBRChallenge pick. I'm taking my baseball trip at the end of this month, so I'm locking myself in my house until then and going to try and get read everything I have scheduled (this is more than likely a lie and I will never get everything read I scheduled for this month). ARCS, TBRChallenge, and my personal monthly theme of Single titles is on tap for August! 

I'm also starting to build up my tbr list for September and October, because we all know what comes next.....HALLOWEEN BINGO! Break out those pumpkins 🎃

As always, a huge thank-you to friends and fellow readers for all the recommendations throughout the years. It may take me years to get to the recs, but they're always on the tbr. Also, even if I didn't rate them high, I appreciate each and every rec! I love expanding my reading horizons and keeping my reading fresh with books I might not otherwise have picked up.

How did everyone's reading month go?

October Reading Roundup

Thanks to Halloween Bingo, I upped my reading game and got a lot in. I'm also a bit exhausted, lol. Time to leave the horror show behind and move on to some holiday themed reads :) There's another game on BookLikes and I'm going to try and participate in it as much as I can. The 16 Tasks of the Festive Season and the Rules. October was also my Start a New Series month and while some series might keep me from reading further on, others have me searching for the rest in the series. (Those selection books will be denoted with ***book cover***) November is back to Random Generator Month where I let the good ole' RNG decide which book off my GRs tbr list gets picked. The thrill, the excitement, the anticipation! I lead an exciting life I tell you. Hope you all had great reading months and can't wait to hear about your winners and losers.

20 books read, which kind of shocks me because last month I read 21 and I could have sworn I read more this month. Anyway, I nice variety pack of ratings, no 4 stars boo but 3 out of the five highest rated were ARCs, pleasantly surprising. 8 were from my new series selections (Yeah for clearing up some book room!). Can't wait to see what RNG has in store for me this month :)

What were your highs and lows from the month?
