Hello, fellow bookworms!!!
Wow, I cannot believe how quickly October went and that we are already in November and the weather is chilly and that it's time to start preparing ourselves for the holidays!
I had a really good bookish month! I hope you did as well!!!
However, the reason why you won't find any "book pile pics" today is that I managed to not only lose my camera but my phone decided to die too, lol! So I'll be pretty quiet on my social media for the next few weeks while I try to replace both... but in the meantime, here's a wrap-up of my October and a peek at my November bookish endeavors :)

First, I hope to finish reading:

And then, I hope I have enough time to read all of these:
- THE SCORPIO RACES by Maggie Stiefvater (YA/HB)
- HIDDENSEE: A Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker by Gregory Maguire (A/ARC)
- WONDER WOMAN: WARBRINGER by Leigh Bardugo (YA/HB)
