Reading Recap October 2019

Fall in the canyon

Books I read this month:


A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab: A "traveler" has magic that enables him to go back and forth between alternate realities of London, but things get scary when he ends up with a magic rock that needs to be transported back to its home.

A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi: Our girl is angry at life's injustices but after making an unlikely friend she learns better how to see the world.

A Heart in a Body in the World by Deb Caletti: A tragedy has caused our girl take off running across the country where she finally figures out how to deal with the pain.

Field Notes on Love by Jennifer E. Smith: A dude from Britain needs to find someone with the name of his ex girlfriend so he can continue with his plans to travel by train across the US.

Favorites of this month: Wow, but they were all good. However I gave A Darker Shade of Magic and A Very Large Expanse of Sea both five stars.


Plans for November:

• continue with the Beehive Award long  list reading
• read this month's book club pick: Crazy Rich Asians
• participate and win in Nanowrimo

Rock on!
