I finished September with 26 ARCs left to be read. 

October was a busy month, and I knew it was going to be. I went on vacation for 9 days at the start of the month, and that was fun, but as soon as I returned, it was to a whirlwind of doctor appointments. My reading this month was nowhere near what I’d have hoped it would be, but I’m glad that I managed to get as much reading done as I did. I read and reviewed as many books as I got approved for (except for that last minute book that got approved), so my ratio stayed steady at 92%. However, I really want to get through a good portion of this list because I hate being behind on commitments.

I got approved for 5 new books in October:

• The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater
• The Hunting Moon by Susan Dennard
• Village in the Dark by Iris Yamashita
• Benji Zeb is a Ravenous Werewolf by Deke Moulton
• The House Guest by Alison James

These are the ARCs that I read and reviewed, with links to my reviews:

• The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White — see my review here.
• A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid — see my review here.
• A Box of Magick by Jamie Della — see my review here.
