October 2022 Monthly Wrap-up
I only read two books in October via audiobook. I had a hard time actually picking up books to read even though I had a few lined up. November will probably not be a very productive month in regards to reading either because I’m participating in NaNoWriMo and my focus will be on writing.
Since I finished listening to the Harry Potter audiobooks in September, I decided to start the Twilight Saga audiobooks this month. I finished TWILIGHT in the middle of the month and NEW MOON on Halloween.
I learned in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) that life is full of dialectics, or two opposing truths. In this case, the two opposing truths are: 1) I don’t agree with JKR’s stance regarding trans people, and 2) I still love Harry Potter.

November Plans
How did your October go? What are your plans for November?
Reading a little is better than not reading at all. Good luck with NaNo
True! I need to remember that it’s about the quality not the quantity. 😀 Thanks!
I’m so excited for you that you’re doing Nanowrimo, I hope you enjoy it and don’t let it stress you too much. Have a great week, Jenni!
Thanks, Wendy! 😀
I struggled through a book I didn’t like much in a series that I generally do enjoy. Now I’m reading a new mystery with a very similar plot. Ugh. I have a grandson coming in the next month so my reading will probably suffer. 🙂
Struggling with books where you’ve enjoyed the rest of the series is so hard. You have to decide if the over-arching storyline is more important that the line. 😀
I’ve heard really good things about The Maid!
I have too! 😀 I’m excited to read it. It’s my book club book for November.
Any reading is good, in my opinion. I never try to read a certain amount. I much rather focus on Quality over quantity. 🙂 I hope to read Love on the Brain soon.
I agree, Tanya! I often just get caught up in the numbers when I should be looking at the quality. 😀
Enjoy your books this month and NaNoWriMo. Any reading is better than nothing, I read 3 in October and I’m ok with that. I want to read Love on the Brain, such a cute cover!
Thank you so much! 😀 I’m excited about both.
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear you had a rough time picking up books throughout October. I was the same as well, though romance novels have been an entirely different story. I hope November will be good to us both!
Thanks, Sophia! 😀 Mostly it was due to the pain in my arm and what it did to dampen my mood. It also was my PTSD therapy too. I think I’m coming out of it, though. Good luck with your reading in November!
