Overall Reflection:
October was a great reading month! I thoroughly enjoyed many great books, as you can tell by all the high ratings! It was really tough to pick a favorite! The Hunger Games books were definitely at the top of my list! A big thank you to everyone who recommended them! I also highly enjoyed The Morganville Vampire Series by Rachel Caine. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out next week!!! Shadowfae was a book I read solely by reading reviews and recommendations. I most likely wouldn't have picked it up otherwise. :)
You had a great month! Have a nice weekend and ofcourse a happy halloween.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is beautiful, Lily. Love the changes.
ReplyDeleteI think I might do a Reading Reflections post next month, I really enjoyed reading this!
@Nina
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was an exceptional reading month! Enjoy your weekend as well! Happy Halloween! :D
@TJ
ReplyDeleteThanks love! :) I really enjoy the end-of-month review. Gives me a chance to reflect on what I read, what I liked, what I didn't like. I really like the colors of the new background, thanks for the compliment!
@Lily: The colors are great! I particularly like the background and how it integrates with the side-barish design.
ReplyDeleteI think end of the month reflections are a great idea. What a great way to keep track of everything. I love it. :3
@TJ
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really fell in love with this new design. I loved my old background as well, but thought it was about time for a change. I particularly like the blue color on the sides. :)
I have been racking my brain for a feature to spotlight on my blog. The end of month review was an idea I got from my friend Nancy, who has a book blog over on LJ called Temporary Worlds. She posts on bookish a lot as well! :)
I will be doing an other feature that is a bit similar to your Friday Finds, though a bit different as well. It won't be a regular thing, just when I pick up books. Perhaps a bit closer to Calico Reaction's book bag?
Enjoy your reading today! It seems the perfect day for reading here. Gloomy, cool, fallish...perfect for grabbing a cup of coffee and cozy-ing up to a good book! :)
@Lily: Ah, yes, I like Book Bags or Friday Finds posts--great place to get ideas. :)
