October Reading Wrap Up

October has ended and yet the day I'm writing this, it is 70 degrees outside and we're all going to die #climatechange. But let's focus on the happier things.

Halloween is great though I read pretty much nothing for the holiday. Which is kind of fine since I'm so far back with posting that I wouldn't get around to reviewing them until like January. But I did get a good amount of reading done, including the #MasterAndMargareadalong and I think we should all get an award for finishing that one. Bonus awards if someone can explain it.

Let's jump into the stats.

Difficult Women by Roxane Gay (5 stars)

Pretty much killing it here this month.
Both Difficult Women and Everything I Never Told You are written by POC authors.
The Master and Margarita is by a non-US author (Russia) and a translation.
Cuckoo's Calling is by a non-US author.

That was pretty successful. Let's see if I can keep it up next month!

Look at you go! You may or may not have noticed that I did not exactly finish The Master and Margarita readalong but it didn't get less weird, huh? Good to know. ALSO this is the first 1st of the month this year that I don't have a wrap up post ready and I'm really sad about it! Will I get my shit together before midnight? ...probably not.

If possible, it got more nuts. And not in a hilarious bonkers way that the Monk was but more "What sort of fever dream am I reading?"

This is one of the VERY few times I've managed a wrap up post on the first. Normally, if I make it before the 10th I'm pretty happy.
