I hope your slump gets kicked this month with this tbr! I agree Fountains of Silence first sentence intrigued me to know more too! Loved that you did both games, it was so fun!
Things we never got over is an excellent contemporary romance. I read it recently and I’m now on the look out for physical copies of the last two in the trilogy
I loved the Once and Future Witches. I have been wanting to reread it. Things We Never Got Over surprised me. It does read faster than you would expect given its size. I hope your reads go well.
I actually have FOS, AJ Fikry, and the Pumpkin Spice book on my shelves. I suggested AJ Fikry for bookclub, so I will wait to read that one, but I can read the other 2 this month. I also plan to read Frankenstein for Victober.
I read The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin several years ago. It was one of my favorite books of all time. I may do a reread sometime in the future. I really hope you enjoy.
Nooooo! You did not DNF Owen Meany! Maybe you should give it another try when you are not in a reading slump. I thought it was worth it, but not until about 1/2 way through…you just gotta get there.🤣 Also, you will love Fountains of Silence, I promise! I have just seen 3 books, one of them the “pumpkin spice cafe”(?), on my Facebook feed this last week, and am anxious to know what you think about the one you chose. Good luck in October!
Good excuse to bop to my bookstore and buy Pumpkin Spice Cafe! Once and Future Witches is definitely one I'd love to get to this month. I hope you love Fountains of Silence-it was a 4.5 star for me! I forgot that there was a new Erin Stirling book coming out! I'm definitely going to need to look for that. That's a great pile of books!
I read the Pumpkin Spice Cafe during my September reading challenge. I thought it was going to be a cozy mystery, but really the mystery is secondary to the romance. Since I wasn't expecting it to be a romance it took me by surprise, a bit. It's pretty steamy.
So many people love Owen Meany. I HATED it, could not get the hype. I read it years ago w an entire group on email server, haha. Felt validated by your DNF! I just swapped for Butcher and Blackbird so I hope it is good. Loved Once and Future Witches too!
A lot of good books there, they sound interesting. I hope you get out of your slump I am sort of still in my slump, back to reading, but one book at a time, used to be 2-3 books at a time. I have 3 more books to reach my goal on goodreads and it seems to be taking forever to get there. Do you have a lot of prompts for the face cards?, cause it seems to be the same ones you are pulling.
@@BekahBooksandBujo thanks, that's what I figured, I wondered why the same ones were reappearing. Maybe next year you can add 2 more prompts, but if you are satisfied with it, ignore my suggestion. .
I get wanting to give yourself grace. I get having a bad month. What I don’t get is changing the rules. Like why not play the game as you set it up? What’s the purpose of the game if you cheat? Everyone has a bad month now and again.
Good luck with your tbr! I hope you have fun with spookopoly 🥰
Thank you so much for hosting!

🍁🎃📚🍁 Enjoy!
Thank you! 😊
Great October tbr! Enjoy!
Thank you!! I’m excited 😊
Once and Future Witches is soooo good!
Yay! So glad to hear!
Goodreads scroll is such a fun prompt!
Yeah! It’s always fun to see what shows up.
@@BekahBooksandBujo it could get interesting 🤣
The Lucy Score book is on my TBR for this month as well!
Nice! I hope we both love it!
A nice selection for the month! Hope you love Things We Never Got Over as much as I did! Very heartfelt and spicy XD
I'm really looking forward to it!!
Things we never got over is an excellent contemporary romance. I read it recently and I’m now on the look out for physical copies of the last two in the trilogy
Great to hear!!
You sound so happy to be back on track with reading! I think October will be a 5 star month for you!
I sure hope so!! 🤞🏼

I really think it could be a new favorite!
I think this is going to be a great reading month for you! Fountains and AJ Fikry were 5⭐️ for me😀
Yay!! So good to hear.

I don’t think I’ll go back to it… bad taste in my mouth!! I’ll keep you updated!

A.J Fikry is one of my top 5 all time favorites!!!!
Amazing! I really think I’ll love it.

Oh I didn’t realize that either! Thanks for the heads up.

I’m so glad I’m not alone! Butcher and blackbird was a bit too gross for me… 😕

I only have about 5-6: BOTM, adaptation, borrowed, read it or not, self destruct, kindle… and that might be it?
@@BekahBooksandBujo thanks, that's what I figured, I wondered why the same ones were reappearing. Maybe next year you can add 2 more prompts, but if you are satisfied with it, ignore my suggestion. .
@@ladyking119 they are prompts to help fulfill my reading goals for the year! So they’ll likely change next year.
@@BekahBooksandBujo I forgot that part, that they were for your reading goals.
I loved AJ Fikry. I just finished The Blue Sisters. Meh! 4 stars but not a strong 4.
Glad to hear your thoughts. I wasn’t too drawn toward The Blue Sisters 🤷🏼♀️
FyI The Storied Life of A.J. Fickry is a movie on hoopla, starring Kunal Nyar and Lucy Hale. B
Thanks for the info! I’ll have to watch after I read 😊
Love Simone St. James. Maybe start with Broken Girls or The Book of Cold Cases. Murder Road has been my least favorite.
@@jmschnepp good to know! Thank you!
How is the new job? Do you feel more tired being around kids (not your own) all day?
I’m really liking my new job! But that is probably adding to my exhaustion - being around kids all the time!
I get wanting to give yourself grace. I get having a bad month. What I don’t get is changing the rules. Like why not play the game as you set it up? What’s the purpose of the game if you cheat? Everyone has a bad month now and again.
I just say my game, my rules. I also basically did what the punishment is anyway - only choosing books on my physical tbr. So all good!
