Overall Reflection:
An excellent month in reading! I highly enjoyed the Percy Jackson series, much more than I had anticipated. The final book was definitely the best in the series, although I really enjoyed the fourth book as well, the labyrinth was such an interesting concept to me. I also got to read the latest installment of the Morganville Vampire series, which was lovely. I just adore Caine's writing. I also got to start her Weather Warden series, which so far is amazing. It's definitely more complex than the Morganville series, which actually left me feeling a bit more satisfied! I look forward to another month of fantastic reads! :)

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. :)
