October 2018
Like most month’s this year, I feel like October came and went in a flash!
Between life, work and vacation, I didn’t get much reading in. (That’s also why this post is happening super later than normal!). It helped my numbers a lot that I read a lot more novellas or shorter novels than I usually do. But, that still didn’t stop me from completing my Goodreads Goal ahead of schedule! Once again, I underestimated my reading prowess for the yearbut given the last few months, it’s a good thing I got ahead of schedule earlier this year because I’m not sure I would have reached it otherwise.
I met my goal of reading 190 books for the Goodreads 2018 Reading Challenge! For awhile it didn’t look like that was going to happen! https://t.co/ximdmOYQ7N via @goodreads

Total for October 2018: 11 Books Read + 4 Novellas Read
DNF’d: 4 Books
Last October: 16 Books Read + 0 Novellas Read + 1 DNFs
Standout Read (★★★★★)
This book was everything I wanted it to be–it’s one of the best contemporary romances I’ve read in a long, long time!
Biggest Let Down (★)
I was super excited to return to this world with a brand new set of leads but this story took a turn/approach I did not appreciate in the slightest. What a disappointment!

I’ve seen this meme floating around and thought it was a great idea to help me tackle my TBR list and reach that less than 500 goal. The idea is to go through 5-10 books on your Goodreads TBR list chronologically and decide if they should stay or go. I usually do a big Goodreads Purge twice a year but I like the idea of doing a little bit at a time and have decided to do this on a monthly basis.
This month (7 new to me series + 3 previously started series):
