This week’s topic:
What was the best book you read in October?
I just checked Goodreads and I’m shocked to see that I read 11 books in October! How am I’m going to decide between 11 books?
Just to make this fun, let’s break it down a bit.
– 6 were NA contemp romance
– 1 was NA Urban Fantasy
– 1 was craft
– 1 was YA contemp
– 2 was YA fantasy
It is a hard choice, my friends, I liked or loved all the books I read this month. I could choose 2 or 3 books instead of one, but then it’ll be worse, because I’ll want to choose all 11!
So, here it is, without further ado, my favorite of the month:
Following the unexpected death of her father, 18-year-old Layken is forced to be the rock for both her mother and younger brother. Outwardly, she appears resilient and tenacious, but inwardly, she’s losing hope.
Enter Will Cooper: The attractive, 21-year-old new neighbor with an intriguing passion for slam poetry and a unique sense of humor. Within days of their introduction, Will and Layken form an intense emotional connection, leaving Layken with a renewed sense of hope.
Not long after an intense, heart-stopping first date, they are slammed to the core when a shocking revelation forces their new relationship to a sudden halt. Daily interactions become impossibly painful as they struggle to find a balance between the feelings that pull them together, and the secret that keeps them apart.
Crazy-good! Now, go read it!
How about you? What was the best book you read in October?
Cheers,
How do you read so much? Wow. 11 books! I read about half that, I think. I love that you share your best reads, Juliana. Thanks!
Wow, haven’t heard of this book but it sounds really interesting!
I’m putting that on my list. Going to have to go on a purchasing spree tonight I think!
I just read an article on PW about this book and her success self-publishing. Made me intrigued, and since you picked it of all your 11 books, I should probably check it out!
Wow that’s a lot of books! Slammed sounds fascinating. Sadly, I didn’t manage to finish a single book last month.
I’ve heard of this one and I might have to check it out now. :) October was a pretty decent reading month for me too. When I looked over my Goodreads list, I was a little surprised at how many great books were there. Hard to choose between! :)
11 books? Can I have your energy and time, please?! ^^
Hmm, haven’t seen much about this book, but it actually sounds interesting. And 11 books? Go you! ;-D
This sounds interesting! I used to go to poetry slams when I was younger and I loved them–though I never got the guts to read anything myself. I’ll have to pick this one up some time!
Eleven? I read… two. Crap.
Ooh, that sounds really cool! I’ll have to add that one to my list!
