Hi everyone! I’m so excited that I made great strides toward my monthly reading goal, and I’m still on my way to hitting my annual reading goal well before the end of the year. Here are the books that I read in October:

Thomas C. Hinkle, How to Eat: A Cure for “Nerves”
Melanie O’Hara Salyers and Susi Galloway, The Traveling Tea Ladies Death in Dixie
Oprah Winfrey, The Path Made Clear
Jamie Fleming-Dixon, The Black Girl’s Guide to Calm
Cassie Parks, Retired at 32 (not available for sale)
I initially intended to read more than 10 books this month, and I was well on my way at the beginning of the month. However, I actually put in major efforts toward my October writing plan, so I simply didn’t have enough time to read, write, edit, publish, and maintain my offline life. I still count it as a WIN that I got to read 6 books this month, and, while I’ll be throwing most of my energy into NaNoWriMo, I aim to read more than 10 books during the month of November. I’m also considering doing a review on one or two of the books that I read in October, but we’ll see: I don’t want to overextend myself!
Do you have any reading or writing goals for the remainder of the year? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
