October 2016 Wrap Up!



Hey Internet! I'm such a dissapointment this month, I read only three books! I know I give the same excuse every month but college really is busy! I promise next semester I am going to start a reading challenge and try to read a book every week! But for now, here are the books I read this month.




amazon.com

The Thing Around Your Neck
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 
(4/5) Stars

This book really was great, It's a collection of short stories about Nigeria and Nigerian women that come to America. I definatley reccommend it if you are interested in other cultures of if you love short stories. Adichie is an amazing storyteller!





amazon.com

Evolution
Stephen Baxter
(1/5) Stars


I am not a science person, so when I had to read this for my english class I found it exteremly awful and boring. This might be one of the worst books I've ever read honestly. When it's not boring me to death it is extremely graphic for absolutley no reason (do we really need multiple passages about monkeys having sex??) 10/10 do not reccommend. 




goodreads.com

The Island of Dr. Moreau
H. G. Wells
(4/5) Stars

This book was really interesting. It's about genetic modification and a mad scientist with a god concept, which I really enjoyed. It was just as pyschological as it was suspenseful. It's a short read too, so I reccommend it to anyone as an interesting short read.



Thanks for reading my blog! If you want more in-depth reviews of any of these books, (besides Evolution) they are listed on the blog. I'll see you guys tommorow with Novemeber Releases!
