October Wrap-Up and a Mini Review!

Hey everyone, its November. I know it's a little late, but I'm going to show you all the books I read in October. I read 6 books in October and that's pretty good for me. I usually read about 4 books a month. Let's get on to the wrap-up!



1)  Switched by Amanda Hocking.




This was a great book to start my creepy/paranormal theme for October. I liked this book, it was pretty good. I gave it 4 Lily Pads. I have a review on my blog and my youtube channel if you wanna check those out. Here's my video review if you wanna watch it. :)


 





2) Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake


 

I really loved this book. I was scared to read it because I heard it's really creepy but I really enjoyed it. I gave it 5 Lily Pads because the plot was so interesting and I loved the characters. I have to read the sequel, I'll probably borrow it from the library like I did with this book. If your looking for a good creepy, mysterious read, I recommend this book :) I have reviews for Anna on my blog and on my youtube channel. Here's the video

 
 



3) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

This book series has so much hype. It's really popular all over the booktube community. I was hesitant to read it because of the hype, but I finally read it. I thought it was just okay. I gave it 4 Lily Pads because I liked it, I loved the main characters Rose and Lissa,  but there were times when the book was boring, and certain parts made me uncomfortable and grossed out. If you want a more detailed review, check out the review on the blog, and on my channel. Scroll down to watch my review for the book.
 






         



4) Cinder by Marissa Meyer


I thought this book was alright. I gave this book 4 Lily Pads. I started reading this book in August for a read-along and I read half of it, but I couldn't get into it so I put it down. In October I decided to pick it up again, and I finished. I liked it but didn't love it. It is dystopian and I don't like dystopian books, but I liked the Cinderella part of it. I just bought the next book "Scarlet" so I want to continue the series because I heard it gets better. I have a review on the blog and a video review up above if you wanna know more about my opinion. 

5) Legend by Marie Lu


Honestly, I didn't like this book. It's okay, you can kill me. I know everyone else loved this book but it just wasn't for me. I hate dystopians now because every time I read a dystopian, I end up not liking it, but I loved The Hunger Games. It was slow, boring and I just couldn't get into it. I didn't film a review on my channel yet. I'm not sure if I'm going to film one but I have a review on the blog if you want to read it :) I gave this book 2 Lily Pads.

6) Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K Rowling




I'm reading HP for the first time and I am loving the series so far. The books get better and better. I think this book is my favorite out of the first three. I loved this book so much. It was addicting, and just amazing. I love the world and the characters, I was never bored. I can't wait to read Goblet Of Fire next, I have a review on the blog if you are interested in reading it. I don't have a review on my channel yet. I would recommend Harry Potter to everyone, I am obsessed now. Of course I gave this book 5 Lily Pads. :)



Those were all the books I read in October. October was a good reading month for me, even though I didn't love most of the books I read. 
Now I have a quick review for you guys. This is a book I just finished the other day. It is a new released book.

 
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul
by Jeff Kinney

Hardcover Edition

5/5 Lily Pads

No Spoilers!


I loved this book. I love the whole series. I started reading this series when it first came out and I was in middle school. This is the 9th book in the series. As soon as the mail came I started this book and finished it in two hours. The book is about a boy named Greg who is in middle school. Basically in this book, his family goes on a road trip together and it turns into a disaster. The family is so unlucky. I just love this series so much. No one in booktube talks about it. It's middle grade, but its so easy to read and there's pictures on every page. Overall, this book didn't disappoint me and I will continue to buy more books the author writes. 

So that was my wrap-up and quick review. I want to thank you so much for reading this and checking out my blog. I really appreciate it :) Stay tuned for more.
