I’m a little late with my October book reviews, but here they are! If you’ve been following these monthly wrap ups, you’ll know my reading here lately hasn’t been that great. I only read 6 books in October (I normally read around 8-9) but I really enjoyed most of them, so I feel that’s a good sign that my reading is starting to turn around!
Here’s what I read last month:
Verity by Colleen Hoover
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
I read Verity when it was first released in 2018. It was during a very busy time for me, so I didn’t remember anything about it. EVERYONE has been talking about this book, and I wanted to reread it so I could remember what I thought about it.
When I started reading the book, I thought I would begin to remember the plot, but I never did! It was basically like reading it for the first time. There are parts I didn’t love, but man was I captivated by this story! And then I went and read the bonus chapter. WHAT?!?! It is insane! Loved this book!
Rating: 5 stars
When in Rome by Sarah Adams
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
I was so excited about a new Sarah Adams book. I read The Cheat Sheet last year and really loved it. It was a little cheesy, as was this book, but sweet and swoony nonetheless. If you like celebrity/ small town rom coms, you’ll like this one!

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
Even though Halloween is over, I would still recommend The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches! This is a great fall read. It’s like a cozy hug in book form. I absolutely loved this quirky and cozy book.

Lock Every Door by Riley Sager
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
I had been waiting to read Lock Every Door during the month of October and I was not disappointed! It has mixed reviews so I was worried about where I would fall, but I loved it! There was one important detail that was left unsolved at the end, and that made me really mad, but other than that, I loved it!
Rating: 4 stars
Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
Sadly I was not a fan of Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match. I love Sally Thorne, but this was just not for me. I found it odd and boring. Really odd. It took me over a week to read and I ended up skimming the last 50 pages just so I could finish. 🙁
Rating: 2 stars
Built to Last by Erin Hahn
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
I was SO shocked by how much I loved Built to Last. What an incredibly swoony story about two child stars who reunite when they go to work on an HGTV-style fixer-upper show. This was everything I loved in a book, and I cannot wait for the second one to come out. I’m sure Erin Hahn was tired of me DMing her while I read this book. LOL I LOVED it!
