Reading Roundup October 2025 - #booklist

 


Happy Halloween!

Yes, the last day of October is upon us, and it's time to light up those pumpkins and load up on sweeties.

Halloween is the perfect time to snuggle indoors with a bowl of pumpkin soup and a good book.  I hope my list of books that I have read this month will give you some good ideas of books to read.


The Self-Made Saint by Alexandra Addams


Hidden between the covers of this book is a real gem, and it was definitely my favourite read this month.  If you would like to read my review you can find it here.


Tailored Truths by Nancy Jardine


An enjoyable historical fiction book.  If you would like to read my review you can find it here.


The Blackest Time by Ken Tentarelli


Set in Florence during the plague, this was a good read.   If you would like to read my review you can find it  here.


The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman


This one had been on my TBR so such a long time.  I'm glad that I finally dusted it off as it is worth reading.


A Killing in November by Simon Mason


The first in a series featuring DI Ryan Wilkins.  It was very enjoyable and I already have a copy of the second book in the series waiting to be read.


The Little Flower Shop by the Sea by Ali McNamara


This was the perfect holiday read but will lift the spirits at any time..  Set in Cornwall it tells the story of Poppy who inherits a flower shop from her grandmother.


Little Secrets by Victoria Goldman


Little Secrets is an exciting mystery set in The Panbrook, a former prison which has since been converted into a luxury hotel. It makes for fabulous reading.  If you would like to read my review you can find it here.


A New Recruit for the Resistance Girls by Alice G. May


The book is set during WWII, when women suddenly found themselves presented with opportunities that previously would have only been available to men.  It is well worth reading.  If you would like to read my review you can find it  here.


A Lesson in Dying by Ann Cleeves


The first in a series from the author of the Shetland and Vera Stanhope series. It was worth a read.


Abracadabra by Evanne Hardin Grey


I really wanted to like this book but it didn't live up to my hopes.
