Things that Happened in October
- This month has been utterly insane at the school. With short week and then assemblies and homecoming week and red ribbon week and everything that goes with all that. I definitely need a break and, hopefully, things will calm down in November.
- Life has just been crazy. Enough said.
- Blogversary!

Things I’m Looking Forward to in November
- Thanksgiving break from school. I think I need the five day weekend way more than my students do.
- Things will still be utterly crazy at the school since Christmas is approaching. It doesn’t matter that it will only be November because to them that is close enough to start Christmas-ing. Such is the behavior of my students.
- I will, hopefully, have more time to read in November than I did in October. This is a hopefully.

How did your October go?
Some awesome books though, most I want to read! Happy November!
Thanks. I hope you have a wonderful end of the weekend. Happy November to you as well!
I need to reread some Marillier, I need some gushing reviews of her books on my blog, haha. Hope you enjoy your November and that you have more time to read.
🙂 I know exactly what you mean.
I hope you have a great November and thanks for stopping by!
I feel like October just FLEW by! I don’t understand where it went, but goodness, I hope all the months don’t go by this quickly. Glad you’ll be getting a break soon! And I don’t know if you liked all the books you read in October, but my goodness talk about gorgeous covers! If the books were half as good as the covers, you were all set 😉 Hope that you get lots of reading done this month!!
The books I read in October were all pretty great though some of them were picked up just because of the beautiful covers! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great November!
This is rather superficial of me, but I love just looking at your book cover montage. Some seriously attractive covers there.
I thought the same thing when I was putting it together. I must have been attracted to all the pretty covers at the library. That can sometimes be a downfall but these were all pretty great.
Thanks for visiting!
