Great month you had Larkin! I’ll have to check out your DotBC review… I’m reading now and it’s really slow… 😭

Thank you! Yeah, that one does start off a tad slow but I was enjoying the circus setting so much that it didn’t bother me too badly. It does get better once you meet Luca and they start hunting down the murderer!

Oh my god, Larkin, you RULED October! Plus it looks like you had a ton of 4+ star reads, which is always fantastic. I might steal this format because it looks like a great way to hold yourself to posting regularly — after all, the end result is just so satisfying. Here’s hoping November rules just as much!

Thank you so much! It was a surprisingly good month for me. I hope I continue that through the end of the year and try to make my Goodreads goal! And for sure, you can definitely use this format. It’s so easy to keep up with. 😁
