Hey there!

That’s it. I read some chunky books, and while I had the best time reading them, it also meant that I wasn’t able to read as many books as I usually do. It’s ok though, I already achieved this year’s reading goal, so now I’m just trying to work on my never-ending physical TBR.

What are your plans for October? What are you most excited about this month?

Until next time,
