October Wrap Up 2022

October Wrap Up 2022

Thank you, publishers, for these gifted books.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿซ

What a busy and fun month! I still canโ€™t believe how fast it went by!

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Web had another excellent month for cross country, and had a great time at the State meet. Itโ€™s so hard to believe he is now done with his cross country career in high school. Iโ€™m truly thankful for his wonderful coach who is also an amazing mentor to all the kids.

This month we also had his Senior pictures taken. It was such a fun experience and @taylornicholephotos is amazing!














๐Ÿ“šAs for books...This month was kinda slow. The majority of the books I picked up were slow burns, so that slowed my reading down.

I canโ€™t thank the following ladies enough for some amazing buddy reads:
@mamas_top_shelf @thesubstitutelibrarian @bookmarked.by.becky @chicagobooklover @jennyw_reads
@bookishly_overdue
@brandy_reads

My goal is to read debut books each month and this month I picked up several but ended up DNFing each one.๐Ÿ˜ข
