October TBR & Readathons
October!! YESS!! October is my favorite month! And it’s also my favorite time of year to read and do readathons! This October I plan on participating in 4. Crazy large amount…I know! Not sure if i’ll finish, but I really want to dedicate October to reading! Since i have a reading limit of 6ish books a month, I’ve decided to double up as much as possible…which makes this pretty challenging. I may need to change these up mid-month.

Books In Bloom
I'm an avid reader and love most all books, but my favorite genres tend to be mystery, adventure, science fiction and classics. Genres I tend to shy away from include romance, contemporary fiction and chick lit. If I’m not actually reading books, I’m probably at work shelving them at my local library.
