BOOK HAUL

I only bought one book last month, which, if you remember September’s haul, is definitely a good thing!  I found The Treatment at Books-a-Million for $4, and I could not refuse it! I really loved The Program when I read it last year, so I’m really looking forward to reading book 2.

MISCELLANEOUS

A lot of fun things happened on the blog in October!

I participated in both the Halloween Read-a-Thon, as well as Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon!

I participated in a few Top Ten Tuesdays, as well as some super fun Halloween tags!

Hocus Pocus Book Tag | Trick or Treat Around the Block

I also shared my thoughts on the movie The Haunting, based off the book The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, on Movie Monday.

That wraps up October!  I feel like, after a few slow months, October was a really good blogging month.  I’m looking forward to continuing this in November.  The second half of the month, I have some exciting things coming up.  I’m going to be participating in a blog tour, as well as my Countdown to Christmas series, which returns on 11/19! So, get excited! lol

Thanks so much for reading, and be sure to let me know how October went for you!
