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

Welcome, welcome my dear readers.

Welcome to the blog!

October is over and I've loved his month SO MUCH.

I lit the first candles and had my first Autumn walk. The nature is beautiful and the temperatures are low. I just love the cold when going outside. I had a week vacation and that was nice too. I was able to meet a lot of friends and do loads of fun stuff like going to the cinema and have dinner and lunch dates.

This also gives me that Christmas feeling, which is less than two months away!

This was a good month on the blog. I did two Sunday Posts, a Short Story post and another Get To Know Me Tag! I've read a lot of books and wrote a good amount of reviews.

I also made a new banner with a little hedgehog next to my own logo, to stay in the Autumn theme. I'm so happy with it! I hope y'all like it too.

I do hope everything is well with you. 

I wish you a great November, with maybe some Christmas shopping?

And see you later on the blog! 🍂

Synopsis

Rhianwyn of the Caderyn is conflicted about giving up a warrior’s life to become a wife and mother, but her love for her new husband is enough to at least make her consider it. However, with the conquering Gaians moving ever closer to her homeland a peaceful life may no longer be an option, for Rhia or for any of her people. With rival tribes, old suitors, and the dangerous General Lepidus to contend with, Rhia soon finds her new family in unprecedented danger, and her choices now must be about more than just herself...

Wildcat takes place in a fantasy land inspired by Iron Age Britain and follows Rhianwyn's story as she encounters a civilisation unlike any she could imagine, and is constantly forced to learn and adapt through trial after deadly trial.

Synopsis

Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife-between desire and danger.

Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
