October 2023 Wrap-Up and Tentative Reading Plans for the Remainder of 2023

October was by far my best reading month this year. I read 9 books. Four 5-star reads, with an average rating of 4.17 out of 5. As you may have read in this post, October was a month of readathons. I didn’t complete all the books I had set out to read for those readathons. No worries there, as I had fun trying, so much so that I feel compelled to do dedicated reviews for many of them, so look out for them to post sometime soon.

Books Read with Ratings x/5.0:

And, just so you all know…I have a lot going on, so I will carry over any unreal books from October into the remainder of the year, November and December. I plan to read some other books I’ve received from Book Sirens and read and review requests from my blog. In addition to the unread books from my October TBR, I may even sprinkle in a couple of buddy reads and book club book picks. Looks like the rest of my year is set and I will not be committing to anything else until mid-January to early February 2024.

Wish me luck!
