Share all the books you read last month by rounding them all up here and then pick your favorite out of all the book you read in October 2021! I've seen people do this on blogs and on social media and I think it gives you a great sense of accomplishment as well as just serves as a way to reflect on what you read in the last month.

This month wasn’t great for me, but all the books I read were;

Words of Radiance
Soulsmith
Balckflame
Skysworn
By Darkness Hid

Words of Radiance was definitely the best.

Ugh, why can't I only pick one? I loved Cry Wolf, Amulet, and Fairest Son!

~ This was a DNF
~ Technically an October read, but I had to set it aside to read an A.R.C, so it's still a "currently reading".

As to my favorite...it would probably be between Secrets in the Mist and The Lady and the Wish.

Oh boy ahhahaaha.
i reread: A Cast of Stones
Leopardstar’s Honor
Six of Crows
I reread: Dare
Tales of the Neverending
and a few others that weren't my face. I don't reccomend Six of Stars. My favorite is probably between Dare and Cast of Stones tho Tales of the Neverending was good

How was Six of Crows?

Um a bit of cussing. in the second book there's a gay couple....like not just barely mentioning it like in Renegades, but like DETAILS into it ya know? so yeah....and a bit of magic like black magic i guess

I cannot wait to start The Stormlight Archives!

I read a few October
Salem's Lot
The Well of Ascension
Swimming Lessons(poetry)
The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
They Never Learn
Layla

My favorite was The Well of Ascension

It's soo good! Have you read Mistborn yet?

I cannot ..."

For October, I read:

-Hand of Steel (Jessi L. Roberts)

-Wildwood Dancing (Juliet Marillier)

-Oath of the Outcast (C.M. Banschbach)

-The Hound of Duville and Other Stories (Kyle Robert Shultz)

You'd think it'd be easy to pick a favorite out of 4 books, but I'm torn between Oath of the Outcast and Hound of Duville!

I've heard a lot about Fairest Son. I might have to put that on my TBR...

I read the whole Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series and the Whole The Heroes of Olympus Series.

@Elizabeth L., those are some of my favorites! I've been wanting to reread Heroes of Olympus (maybe Christmas break will be the time).

@ Jesse, what did you think of By Darkness Hid??

It was a slow month (but not as slow as November is turning out to be haha). I read Ignite, Endure, and Dark Breaks the Dawn (working on my Sara B. Larson backlist haha), and The Ones We're Meant to Find by Joan He, which I think was my favorite.

Oh okay..... :(

It's a quick read but it's a good one! :)

I’ve read the Twilight Saga, Wonder, Five Feet Apart, and A Fault In Are Stars. Homework has been time consuming this past month. I haven’t read a lot. :(

Oh! And The Book Thief! That one was amazing! :)

I read The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis, Foundation by Isaac Asimov, Castle of Refuge by Melanie Dickerson, The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, The Runaway Bride by Jody Hedlund, and Men of Iron by Howard Pyle.
I think my top 3 out of those are: The Great Divorce, The Runaway Bride, and Castle of Refuge. My least favourite out of those was The Cruel Prince.

What was wrong with The Cruel Prince?

You can read my review which explains is...I just didn't enjoy it. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina Young Readers Edition by Misty Copeland
Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
The Vanderbeeker Make a Wish (The Vanderbeeker’s, #5)
Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk
Chains (Seeds of America, #1) by Laurie Halse Anderson
Sweep: The Story of a Girl and Her Monster by Jonathan Auxier

The Vanderbeekers is by Karina Yan Glaser

I think my favorite out of this was probably Chains. It was about a slave girl in the 1700s and it was absolutely stunning. I really enjoyed it!!!

I'm about to be finished with it i have The Hero of Ages to read and then I'll be done. Should i read the second era before The Way of Kings?

I can see why you didn't like it. The first one i thought was the worst and i loved the last two, mainly because that's when Jude and Cardan's relationship actually became interesting, but i hated Jude at first lol. I would tell you not to continue the series since you didn't like the first.

I finally got to do this!

Natsume’s Book of Friends (Manga)
Haikyu 29 (Manga)
Inkspell
The last days of lady Cordelia (Beaumont and Beasley)
The Wishing Spell (Land of Story’s)
The False Prince

Lol! Ops, I did this month! Hahah!

No, not necessarily. I think you should read Elantris first, though, because you won't like it once you read Stormlight.

It was okay. Pretty cliche, honestly, and the characters weren't the best. I probably will continue, though, so that might say something in itself.

Yesss!!

I read:
- Five Feet Apart
- Ordinary
- Project Hail Mary (still reading)

I haven't read a lot lately :( but from what I did read, Project Hail Mary is definitely the best.

I didn't really like Five Feet Apart. It had a lot of cussing, and wasn't one of the characters gay? I saw the movie and read the book. :|

Yeah, it kind of disappointed me. And one of the characters was gay.

yeah :(

It didnt even end well >:(

Right!?

I must admit though, I cried like three times during the movie ...

Yes! It's so sad. . . 😭

Yea :,(
