I started the month with a run of just stunning books but Tower of Dawn kind of sent me into a bit of a reading slump. I had a whole week off where I thought I would read loads and I ended up just reading two books, partly because of vet stuff with Scully though. We found out what she’s allergic to at least, a yeast called malassezia which is apparently everywhere.

I highly recommend The Fifth Season, Circe and The Radium Girls. My review of Circe won’t be up until closer publication but if you like Greek mythology you must add it to your wishlist!

I’ve also spent time on Ninja Book Swap stuff which has now entered the fun buying things stage, at last! As someone with a wishlist of hundreds of books I’ve been surprised how much wishlist chasing I’ve had to do. Sometimes I wish there were less books I wanted to read!

So October also brings with it Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, hoorah! Those who follow me on Instagram will know I’ve been counting down with their photo challenge, #30daysofreadathon (although I missed day one, so it’s really 29 days).
