Month in Review:
October 2017
Where did October go!? I already miss it! Fortunately, however, I was able to read through some great Halloween-themed books that I had been hoping to do during this past month, so I'm very pleased about that. October is always such a fun reading month because I try to really pick out books to get me into the mood of fall and, of course, Halloween. As always, below I've rounded up every post I made on my blog this month and organized it below for your perusal!
Did you guys read any great Halloween-inspired books?
In addition, I became a Book Depository Affiliate this past month! If you'd like to know more about that, I included some info about in this post. And if you'd like to purchase a book through my affiliate link, just follow this link!

I really need to read Our Dark Duet. I read the first book, but I’m so bad at finishing series. I hope you have a fabulous November and get lots of reading done.
