My Monthly Wrap-Up: October 2025

Another month has come and gone and we are getting so close to the end of the year now. October was a good month full of good books and mostly pleasant weather. I managed to read 15 books total. All of them were good but only a few were outstanding. I managed to read all of the books on my TBR for the month, except for one. I hope to get to that one this month.

Reading Challenge Books

*Everything is Tuberculosis was my favorite book from this month. I never thought I would say that about a nonfiction, but this was an excellent one. I encourage everyone to read this one.

Black Tide Son was just as good as the first book in the series. I am really hoping to wrap this series up soon. Loved the audiobook for this one as well.

The Art of the Legend was an excellent ending for this trilogy. I loved how everything was all wrapped up. The ending was maybe a tad rushed and I was a bit confused about one part, but it was a fun story all around. Highly recommend the series if you love high fantasy with a great cast of characters and based on martial arts.

Favorite Reads

*A Fate So Cold was very good. I’ve been seeing a few mixed reviews about it, but I really enjoyed it. I liked the magical system and the romance. The ending was a bit rough, but it will be interesting to see where the story goes in the sequel.

*The House Saphir was a great retelling of the Bluebeard fairytale. I loved the supernatural aspect and the characters were great. I’m hoping there will be another story with some of the secondary characters set in this world.

Automatic Noodle was a fun little novella that I really enjoyed. Who knew that a cast of robots would be so entertaining. Lovely little story about finding your place in the world.

Hopefully November will be just as good a month as October, as far as my reading goes. So far it is starting off with two really good books. Until next time…
