Hello, all you lovely human beings, and if you brought your pet or multiple pets to your computer to read this blog, hello, meow, bark, or any other animal sound! October is my favorite month due to many reasons: 1) It is my birth month, 2) It is Halloween, which means it is scary and spooky, and 3) the candy! So, in the month of October, I had read a few more books and had written more posts than I did last month. Books I Read This Month All these books listed below I read during October; however, I never fully reviewed them on this blog. Look out for them as I will probably review them in a month or two. 1. All Rights Reserved  by Gregory Scott Katsoulis 4/5 stars Thank you to HarlequinTeen for sending me an arc of this book even if it came a little late. I really enjoyed this one; however, I have a few complaints, which I will explain in further detail in my review for it. 2. Amber Sky by Claire Warner 3.5/5 stars I chose Amber Sky one day since I loved the cover, w...

Title: Alone Author: Cyn Balog Pages: 278 Release Date: November 7, 2017 Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire Genre: Horror, Young Adult Wow, my first exploration into blog tours! I cannot believe this is actually happening! Thank you to Sourcebooks Fire for this amazing opportunity. I am also currently reading Alone , so expect a review to come soon!

Let's get everyone introduced to the book through early praise, a summary, an excerpt, and an introduction of Cyn Balog! I hope you enjoy learning about this book!

Foreword: Thank you to the people at the  N OVL, or Little, Brown, and Company, in the promotion of Hachette Book Group for sending me the October NOVLbox.  First, before I actually go into detail about what is in last month's NOVLbox, I cannot believe that I have started this blog from only doing book reviews to having a variety of posts ranging from recommendations to tags, and, now, to bookish unboxings. Also, I immensely enjoyed opening the October NOVLbox, and I believe my mom did, too. Literally, my mom was hungrily watching me unbox this from our dining room table. It also looked as if my mom wanted some of these items, too; so, good job, NOVL! Now, let's actually get into what was in this mystical box full of books and bookish items! Also, I will be rating the items with birds since it is an important part of of one of the books in this box.  Item #1: Tote Bag 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦(or 5/5 birds) At first glance at this NOVLbox, you see the box is signed by the autho...

*Received Achilles by Greg Boose from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 1/5 stars In the future when new worlds are wanting to be discovered, a boy named Jonah is on a flight to Thetis, a newly discovered planet that house humans while Earth is becoming overpopulated. Instead of having the smooth journey the people who signed up for this test expected, it becomes a rocky crash to Achilles, one of Thetis's moons, when the captain gets shot by an unknown enemy. Now, on Achilles, the surviving passengers try to live without the newly missing adults in an unknown world. Discussion: As a reader and a human-being, I have my preferences, such as my love for fantasy over contemporary. Also, I like the genre of science fiction with  The Martian  by Andy Weir being one of my favorites in that genre along with so many others. So, when I first got Achilles , I thought I was really going to enjoy it. Another planet, a promise for action, and a mystery that was told ...
