October flew by and I can’t believe we’re already in the final month of fall! This month came with some truly stellar reads, but it was also when I had the most DNFs. I’ve learned that if I’m not hooked within the first few chapters or first 30 pages, it’s best to move on, and it has made reading so much more enjoyable overall.

📚 Favorite Reads of the Month

Instead of choosing just one, I wanted to highlight my three five-star reads from October. Full reviews can be found on Goodreads:

💅 Favorite Manicure

Lights Lacquer’s The Restricted Section is a deep gray-green polish with a fine shimmer finish. I was surprised by how much I loved this one since shimmers are usually out of my comfort zone, but it perfectly captured the fall and spooky vibes this month.
