October Wrap Up: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween my friends! Let me just say, this October was straight-up busy. I don’t know if you remember, but the past few Octobers that I have been blogging, I’ve done a Halloween Bonanza. This October I wasn’t able to organize it because of lame life stuff, so that was a bummer. Overall, I didn’t get to do as many spooky things this month as I normally like, but next year will be different! In the meantime, let’s wrap up what I did manage to do this month.

One Classic and One ARC Per Month

Part of my blogging resolutions is to read a classic and advanced readers copy each month.
Classic: I read 50% of Journey to the Center of the Earth and had to quit, because I was sooo uninterested. Boooo.
ARC: Another DNF. I started The Gilded Wolves Roshani Chokshi, and promptly realized it was a heist book. (I hate heist books, so I knew it wasn’t going to do anything for me).

A.S. Thornton

A.S. Thornton has evolved from book blogger to author with a particular fondness for writing forbidden love in ancient deserts. When not writing, she’s caring for dogs and cats as a veterinarian. You’ll never find animals at the center of her writing, though, because those fictional worlds don’t have veterinarians and her literal brain can’t accept that the poor critters would be without parasite prevention. Thornton’s debut, DAUGHTER OF THE SALT KING is available wherever books are sold.
