October 2022 Round Up

In October, I read about nineteen books, and some I didn’t review, others I did. I have been busy with a few other things so didn’t read as many as I had hoped, but I am getting through my review books, however, as I’ve been busy with a few other things. Any reviews for review books posted after the release date have been done that way because I have received the books after they were published – at least for ones sent to me by the publisher. I’m hoping to keep going at a fairly similar rate over the next two months, and to keep on top of everything so I can get through all my review books by the end of the year depending on when they arrive.

Onto my November reading!
