Ashley’s October Haul and Wrap Up

11.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

October was a pretty great month. I always really enjoy reading things that are a little bit spooky and I need to make that a goal to try and read things that are spooky more often. It seems silly to limit it to one month of the year. Overall, it was a pretty good reading month in my opinion. I ended up reading 21 things, which I am pleased with. I also hauled a few books, and have decided to roll these two kinds of posts together.

Let’s jump into all of the books that I read this month! You’ll find them below the cut.
