Seasonal Challenge | October Challenge 2015


Every year I do an October challenge to get me in the spooky Halloween mood. I'm a little disappointed (a lot actually) that I'm so far behind on my GoodReads challenge. I know this year took a wild turn and I spent more time healing (though I'm sure it has more to do with time than anything)... still I coulda read a novella or something!

The thing I love the most about this yearly challenge is that I have found a lot of my favorite series, authors and books while doing this challenge. I'm excited to see what book I fall in love with this year!

  • The Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel by Melissa de la Cruz
  • Storybound by Marissa Burt
  • Gates of Thread and Stone by Lori M. Lee
  • Rooms by Lauren Oliver
  • Unmade by Sarah Rees Brennan (*sobs*)
  • Ticker by Lisa Mantchev
  • Fiendish by Brenna Yovanoff
  • The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters
  • The Haunting of Sunshine Girl by Paige McKenzie
  • The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Grey
  • The Lost Girl by RL Stine
  • Once Upon a Time by Wendy Toliver
  • These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly
  • Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty
  • A Whole New World by Liz Braswell
  • Jack: The True Story of Jake and the Beanstalk by Liesl Shurtliff
  • Spelled by Betsy Schow
  • Touched by Cyn Balog
  • Mystic City by Theo Lawrence

Realistically I'm not going to be able to get through ALL of these titles. If anything I'm aiming for at least half and at least the ones that have been on my TBR for like the last 3 years lol. Maybe I should start with those first in fact...

Do you have any books you're looking forward to reading in October?

It's Monday, what are you reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila over at Book Journey. What I read last week Intertwined (Intertwined #1) by Gina Showalter Hysteria by Megan Miranda What I'm reading this week Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke Broken by C.J. Lyons Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Levithan I finished two of the four I was aiming for this passed week... I don't think I'll be finishing The Coldest Girl in Coldtown tihs month. Poohie. There were a bunch of books I was hoping to finish this month since it would be "within theme". However since November is approching and I'll be NaNoWriMo-ing, I don't really know what to read this month! Haha! I guess I could read my Christmas books early, but would that kill the fun? I'll start off with some contemp then seen how I feel as the month goes on. Hopefully my reading won't decline with everything else going on in November! I am

Waiting on Wednesday | It felt Like A Kiss by Sarra Manning

Waiting on Wednesday  is a weekly meme hosted by  Breaking the Spine . It Felt Like A Kiss by Sarra Manning Release Date : February 13th 2014 from Corgi S u m m a r y   : Meet Ellie Cohen, one of the most perfect girls in London. Ellie manages a swank Mayfair gallery, but it’s her life that’s a real work of art. Great job, really good hair, loyal friends, loving family. It’s only her succession of lame duck boyfriends that ruin the picture. Oh, and the world-famous rock-star father she’s never met, who won’t even acknowledge her existence. Then Ellie’s perfect life is smashed to pieces when her secret is sold to the highest bidder and her name, face (and pictures of her bottom) are splashed across the tabloids. Suddenly everyone thinks she’s a gold-digging, sex-crazy, famewhore. Enter David Gold. Charming and handsome David Gold. On paper he’s even more perfect than Ellie, if only he wasn’t her father’s ruthlessly ambitious lawyer whose job is to manage the crisis – and her.

Waiting on Wednesday | Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

Waiting on Wednesday  is a weekly meme hosted by  Breaking the Spine . Dorothy Must Die (Dorothy Must Die #1) by Danielle Paige Release Date : April 1st 2014 from HarperTeen S u m m a r y   : I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado—taking you with it—you have no choice but to go along, you know? Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still the yellow brick road, though—but even that's crumbling. What happened? Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe. My name is Amy Gumm—and I'm the other girl from Kan
