Reading Roundup for October 2022

 


Autumn is well and truly here in the UK. As I write, the leaves are swirling through the air with the grace of a ballerina. It is pretty to watch from the warmth and cosiness of my office.

I was excited to complete my Good Reads annual challenge this week. I have read 94 books this year and I still have time to fit in a few more before the end of the year. Are you taking part in the Good Reads challenge? I would love to hear how you are getting along.

I have read some great books this month and with no further ado here they are.


Books I Have Read

Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan - This was my book group choice for this month. It met with varied opinions but I loved it and it was my favourite book this month. You can read my review by clicking here.

The Maids of Biddenden by G. D. Harper - I have read this as part of an upcoming blog tour which will take place in a couple of weeks so keep your eyes open for my review.

The Sentence is Death by Anthony Horowitz - The second in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series. Very enjoyable and I have already obtained a copy of the next in the series.

The Locked Room by Elly Griffiths - The latest in the Ruth Galloway series. I adore this series and I am eagerly anticipating the next one to be published.

A Midlife Baby by Cary J. Hansson - The second part of a trilogy and my review will be up very soon.

Stolen Summers by Anne Goodwin - This missed being my favourite book of the month by a whisker and you can read my review by clicking here. It is a prequel to the author's previous book, Matilda Windsor is Coming Home. It is a beautiful book and if you would like to read my review of it then please click here.

The Unexpected Return of Josephine Cox by Claire Graddige - The first in a very enjoyable series and I am planning on reading the second one soon.

Mr. Peacock's Possession's by Lydia Syson - I enjoyed this very much. My review will be up soon.

The Reaper's Quota by Sarah McKnight - I liked this amusing take on the Grim Reaper. Worth reading.

Books I Did Not Finish

Journey to the End of the Millennium by A. B. Yehoshua - I read about a third of this book and was enjoying it but I had other books which had reading deadlines so had to prioritise those. When I went back to this book I realised I needed to start from the beginning again which I will do at some point.
