We Fell Apart by E. Lockhart was released on November 4th. This is the third book in the We Were Liars series. After finishing We Were Liars, I made it my mission to read the rest of the books in the series before the end of the year.

All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace is a fantasy that contains soul magic, pirates, and mermaids. I love Adalyn Grace’s Belladonna series, so I am excited to see what this book has in store.

Accomplice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer is a book that I have been anticipating since last year when I read the first two books. I began reading it on November 1st, and I am so excited to see that there is a new special pov. I can’t wait to see what develops between the Villain and Evie.

Salvacion by Sandra Proudman is a YA fantasy that contains a masked heroine that is trying to break free from societal restraints while donning a mask and acting as a vigilante at night. This book seems to be full of Latin culture and unavoidably falling for the enemy.

These are my reads for October.

Reading The Grandest Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes again gave me a chance to notice things that I missed the first time. Just like the first time I read this book, the chemistry between Rohan and Savannah and Grayson and Lyra was great. But I was able to see a lot more in the little moments between characters because I already knew the plot. Overall, this was a good refresher before reading the newest book.

The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix was two star read for me because the gruesome body horror was too much for me. I did like that he wrote about topics, such as misconceptions about housewives and the ‘simplicity’ of their roles.

Glorious Rivals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes was such a great continuation to Grayson and Lyra’s story. The development between Rohan and Savannah was also amazing. However, Gigi’s character development was my favorite part. I love how she is known as a bubbly person, but deep down, she always feels inferior to her twin sister, and her bubbly personality is just a way to distract others from this. This is such a contrast to Savannah’s cold exterior that hides her own insecurities. I can't wait to read the next book!

I re-read Assistant to the Villain and Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer and loved it as much as the first time. I can't wait to read the newest book in the series, Accomplice to the Villain in November.

I am currently reading Glorious Rivals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes after re-reading The Grandest Game. This book continues to follow The Grandest Games as it goes into the second phase. I am only 11% into the book, and the chemistry between Lyra and Grayson is so much better. I can't wait to see how the rest of the book unfolds.

The Grandest Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is the first book of a new series based on the world from The Inheritance Games series. This new series appears to focus on previously mentioned characters, such as Gigi, Savannah, Rohan, and Lyra. However, it also focuses on the previous main character, Grayson Hawthorne.

The romance between Avery and Jameson is one of the reasons I enjoyed The Inheritance Games series. However, I am ready to see more of Grayson Hawthorne and hopefully see him get a happy ending. I also want to see more of the dynamic between Gigi and Savannah and how their father’s mysterious disappearance will affect their twin relationship.

These are my October Hopefuls!

We are reading The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix in our book club. I am glad this book was nominated as our horror book because it seems like a good starting point for the horror genre. Although the summary makes the book seem more thriller than horror, I am hoping it does contain some horror, just not too much.

I am re-reading The Grandest Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes to refresh my memory before I read the sequel, Glorious Rivals. I can not wait to see where the storyline goes in the sequel.

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart has been on my tbr for a while now, and I just realized I actually have the physical book. This mystery book seems perfect for October, and I can't wait to read it.

I am so happy that I was able to read two of my September Hopefuls.

I absolutely loved The Night Circus’ aesthetic. This book is perfect for those who do not mind a book that has little plot. The dynamic between Celia and Marco is just *chef’s kiss*.

Heartless was a spur of the moment read, and I do not regret it one bit. This book gave me another perspective on how I view villains. I’ve always heard the saying that “villains are not born, they’re made” and this book shows that.

The Boyfriend was a one day read that kept me on my toes. Freida McFadden has a way to make me think that I have the whole plot figured out and then BAM! there’s an unforeseen plot twist.

“To be honest, I don’t really pay attention to what supervillains say very much anymore. It’s always misunderstood genius this, you’ll regret the day that. Supervillains are, as a rule, drama queens. It gets old.”

I am currently finishing up Heartless by Marissa Meyer, which follows Catherine Pinkerton as she strives to open a bakery with her maid and best friend Mary Ann. However, her parents want her to marry the King of Hearts and become Queen. Then when Cath meets Jest, the King’s Joker, and they seem to have an instant attraction towards each other, things become more complicated.

I am reading and listening to the book. I’m at the 88% mark, and although I am excited to see what happens next, I am a little apprehensive as well.

I read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins when it first came out in 2008 and instantly became obsessed. So once the movies came, I naturally became obsessed with those as well. I have not had a chance to read the two newest released books, but I heard good things about them. I want to read them before I watch the movies.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern has become my latest obsession. I heard that her book The Starless Sea is also really good, so I would like to read it. Apart from what the blurb mentions, I have no idea what the book is about. However, if the book is anything like The Night Circus, then I am sure I will enjoy reading it.

I discovered Adalyn Grace with her Belladonna series, and I feel in love with her writing style and characters. After finishing the series, I found out that she has a fantasy duology that includes magic, pirates, and mermaids, among other things. I can't wait to read this duology.

These are some of my auto buy authors.

Adalyn Grace wrote The Belladonna series, and All the Stars and Teeth duology. Her novella Holly is coming out on September 30th. I loved her Belladonna series and cannot wait to read the All the Stars and Teeth duology, and Holly once it comes out.

Jennifer Lynn Barnes wrote The Naturals series, The Inheritance Games series and The Grandest Games series. I have read both The Naturals series and The Inheritance Games series, and first book of The Grandest Games. I love her writing style and how intricate her books are.

Abby Jimenez wrote several books, and I have read her Part of Your World series and Say You’ll Remember Me. I gave all these books five stars. I like that she includes characters with mental illness, and she actually goes in depth about these illnesses, instead of just having them in the books as filler content.

Listening to The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, a Vampire #YoungAdultFiction by Holly Black [whose Folk of the Air-series, starting with The Cruel Prince, i LOVED!], I'm still undecided whether I'm in or out. It's ... strangely fascinating, even being a little bit shallow. Like a Vampire during dawn, haha.

Really love the names Black chose: Tana, Aden, Gavriel [the Vampire].

I am currently reading The Night Circus, and I am enjoying it so far. However, I will admit that it has been a slow read. I have to really concentrate on the timeline and different povs. I’m enjoy seeing the difference between Celia and Marco’s training and can not wait to see where the story goes.

My neighbor K. Woodman-Maynard just published her second graphic novel adaptation! Last night we went to the launch party at Red Balloon Bookstore in St Paul of her new graphic novel of *Tuck Everlasting* by Natalie Babbitt. Her absolutely beautiful work was commissioned by the Babbitt family for the 50th anniversary of the novel.

I was looking for a book that was similar to Caraval by Stephanie Garber and came across The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. The Night Circus follows Celia and Marco as they train as magicians to have a duel. I started reading it yesterday, and I like it so far.

Queen Bee by Amalie Howard has been on my TBR for almost a year now, and with the change of weather, I feel like now would be the perfect time to read it. The main character, Lady Ela Dalvi, is set on getting revenge on those who forced her to disgracefully retreat into the countryside.

The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden is set while women are being killed by someone who dates them before killing them. I would recommend checking content warnings before reading this.

I feel like I had a great reading month with 6 reads, and able to finish my August hopefuls.

I loved how the OUABH series ended with A Curse for True Love. Jacks and Evangeline’s story is one that will stay with me for a while. Jacks is the definition of ‘all in’ when it comes to protecting Evangeline and tries his best to stay away from her. However, I love to see his selfish side, too.

I gave Stuck Up and Stupid 3 stars, and it was a good read. It was quick, and I liked the overall plot. However, I think that the mention of heavier topics was just glossed over and could have been discussed more in depth.

I gave Icebreaker 3 stars. This is not my usual romance type of book, but I wanted to see what the hype was about. Anastasia and Nate had good chemistry, and I could appreciate that they seemed to want to work through their problems. I loved that in the end, everything was wrapped up.

Although I was supposed to finish Local Woman Missing for book club next month, I could not help myself and finished it. I was very shocked at the ending since I had a theory in my mind, and it was not what ended up happening. I definitely recommend it for the upcoming Fall season if you enjoy mystery thriller books. However, I would recommend looking up trigger warnings before reading it.

Ann Liang became a favorite author after reading If You Could See the Sun and This Time it’s Real. Both are young adult romance books that have lots of yearning. Although Henry and Alice are my favorite couple, Eliza and Caz’s story is great. They both touch on self-expectations and how they can bear down on you. I really enjoyed reading both of these books and can not wait t read more from her.
