October Wrap up - Book Haul & What to Expect Next Month

Dear reader, thanks for visiting my blog!

I have the feeling that I'm BACK. I read a lot of books this month and did some nice book tags. That was so much fun; to do something different. I liked it more than I thought!

I was just looking at my Goodreads Reading Challenge and I think I'm not going to make it, sadly. It would mean that I have to read 23 books in the next 2 months... I won't start reading short books just to make it, I really just want to stick to my TBR.

But, oh yeah... Reading is just about the fun, so I don't mind if I don't make it to 75 books. I'll try again next year :)

Have nice November, and remember; It's almost CHRISTMAS, YAY!

Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag

Welcome, welcome!

I'm so happy to share this blogpost with you; The Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag. I've been excited to do this book tag for a very long time, but since Halloween is near and I'm in some Halloween vibes, I decided to do it today.

I will be going to the cinema at midnight to have a Horror Movie Marathon, all night long! I'm already in a spooky cheer and have been watching American Horror Story for a week straight. So yeah, I think this is one of my favorite book tags that I've done so far. I made the font myself and it was so much fun to select the books for this book tag.

I hope you enjoy!

Synopsis
Mercilessly bullied in high school, Ava knows she needs to put the past behind her and move on, but she can’t—not until she’s exacted precise, catastrophic revenge on the people who hurt her the most.

First, she watches Saanvi. Flawlessly chic and working hard at a top architectural firm, Saanvi has it all together on the surface. But everyone does bad things when they think no one is watching and Ava only wants what’s fair—to destroy Saanvi’s life the way her own was destroyed.
Next, she watches Cass. She’s there as Cass tries on wedding dresses, she’s there when Cass picks out a cake, she’s there when Cass betrays her fiancé. She’s the reason Cass’s entire future comes crashing down.
Finally, Ava watches Mel. Mel was always the ringleader and if anyone has to pay, it’s her. But one tiny slipup and Ava realizes the truth: Mel knows she’s being watched, and she’s ready to play Ava’s games to the bitter end.

Synopsis
At first, when a massive ice storm traps fourteen-year-old Hannah and her family in a remote cabin, it feels like a game to practise the survival skills she's been learning. That all changes when an accident leaves her mother desperately low on insulin. With no power and no way to contact the outside world, Hannah steals away with the four family dogs tied to an old dog sled.

All she has to do is make it to the nearest cabin and find a working phone to save the day. But a wrong turn and worsening weather leave her in grave danger and saddled with an unexpected passenger. Hannah must use all her skills and resourcefulness to get help for her family — before they all freeze to death in the wilderness.
