**Reading Challenge Update as of 11/13/18: 118 of 120 books read for the year!**  
October was a super busy month so I don’t feel like I read a lot. 

 City of Fallen Angels (****) I actually started to re-read The Mortal Instruments series back in September and realized that I hadn’t gotten past the 3rd book. So in October I read City of Glass and then City of Fallen Angels. I decided to take a pause and decide if I want to continue to the next book. This one was good but I also feel like it could have ended there and been good so I am not sure I want to drag it out more. 

Crazy House (****) I happened on this book because of one of the 8th graders was reading it and I asked what it was about and voila…I read it. I liked it and was excited to see it has a 2nd book so I will probably read that soon. It is definitely a YA book. I forgot that James Patterson has a few series that are geared toward YA.

A Kiss of Shadows (****) You all know how much I love the Anita Blake series and her 26?28? books and since I read Serpentine in October too I decided to check out the Merry Gentry series. I read this one and then Caress of Twilight and decided I might not be sure i want to continue. It didn’t click for me the way the anita blake series did. 
When Life Gives You Lululemons (****)  I am so behind sometimes. I know everyone read this book over the summer but that is ok. I definitely liked it. I definitely did not realize before going in that this has characters from Devil Wears Prada so I was surprised but that made it more fun because I did love that book too. 
A Recipe for Disaster (***) Ok so this was one of those books i got free from the kindle emails that I love. I didn’t not like it. I am not a huge fan of the reconnecting romances just because I didn’t get to see the initial falling in love period. 
The Woman in the Window (****) I really liked this book. It surprised me which is always nice, I like when I don’t know who exactly is the bad guy or if I think I know something and I am wrong. I saw a lot of reviews that said they knew but maybe I just don’t read enough books like this to get things right away?

There were a few more that I won’t mention..mostly because they were dirty ass romance novels and you guys don’t need to know that much about me!

What did you read in October?

    I enjoyed When Life Hands you Lululemon. I didn't read any books before it but I kept thinking of the Prada movie.
