Top Book for October
By Australian author Meredith Appleyard.
Looking forward to reading in November
Review of Reading Goals
I am accomplishing some but others like keep Anne Bogel’s reading journal sort of fell by the way. One I did accomplish was to read #6 in the Louise Penny series.
Linking up with Nicole from FeedYourFiction Addiction.
The Book Date 
Hi. That’s a great book haul. I loved Happy Place and I always read Karen Rose, I just haven’t read this one yet. Hope you enjoy all your November books.

Wow, 15 books in one month – that’s amazing, Kathryn! Looks like a nice variety and some you really enjoyed.
I hope November is a great reading month for you, too!

I really enjoy the Carol J Perry series and Mary Balogh is an author I’m planning on reading in 2024. I used to love her books but it’s been years since I’ve read anything by her. Mary Kay Andrews is another one on my list for 2024. I’ve loved the look of her last few books. Can’t wait to see what you think of Iron Flame. I’m torn between spending an Audible credit on it or waiting for my library hold so I will be looking for your review to help me make my decision. Happy November!

I have started Iron Flame, as violent as the last one and I see on IG readers spitting over what happens to Xaden, but as its over 600 pages I have a long way to go. I am reading it now but I’ll certainly listen to the audio as well sometime next year.

Lots of great books read this month! I want to read A Dish Best Served Hot. I still need to read Iron Wing too. Hope your November is going well so far!

Nice accomplishment! You got me started on Kay Bratt, and I am reading Hart’s Ridge, and I love it! I’m already planning to read the series.

Well I finished it and thought it ended too abruptly, but I suppose it is to entice me to read the next one – lol! I thought it could have used a bit more “wrap-up”.

Kathryn, 15 books in October was quite an accomplishment! I am so glad that you are discriminating in your ratings, and don’t just give out 4 or 5 stars to every book you read. I know that if you give 4.75 or 5 stars, then I will like that book, too. Thank you. Judy Zell

I love how you break down the categories of the books you’ve read, sharing the settings and where you got them from. I’ve started keeping track in my personal book notes where I got the book from because sometimes I want to look it up again but I can’t remember where the book is! lol.
