October 2017 Wrap Up!

Hey There Internet! It's the end of October, (Happy Halloween btw) and time for me to talk about all the books I read this month! Unfortunatley I didn't read any spooky books, but I did read nonetheless. Shall we begin?

1. Written on the Body.

via Amazon.
By Jeanette Winterson
4/5 Stars.

I had to read this book for my Women's Studies class, and I absolutley loved it! The book is kind of hard to get into because it is confusing at points and kind of jumps around, but its a really cute and interesting love story. 

2. The Voyage of The Dawn Treader. 

via Goodreads.
By C. S. Lewis
2/5 stars.

I'll be honest, I did not finish listening to this book. It was alright, but it didn't rope me in as the first two had. Also I didn't really like the story without Peter and Susan in the mix. So when my phone broke, destroying all of my audiobook files, I decided not to redownload this one. 

3. Americanah.

via Goodreads.
By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
4/5 stars.

I read this book in my Women Writer's class, and I absolutley adored it. It's such a heartfelt and intriguing story about being an outsider in America, as well as the struggles of love. I love Adichie's writing style, and I'm really excited to read more of her books. 

4. Truly Madly Guilty.

via Amazon.
By Liane Moriarty
1/5 stars.

I picked up this book because I'm trying to read all of the Goodreads choice books of 2016, and this book is the Best fiction book of 2016. However I just couldn't get into it. I listened to about the first quarter of the book and was bored out of my mind. I guess this kind of fiction just isn't for me. 

5. Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness. 

via Goodreads. 
By Susannah Cahalan
5/5 Stars

Wow. This memoir is absolutley amazing, and It was even better listening to it on Audible. This is the true story of a woman who becomes sick with a rare neurological disease, and its absolutley facinating and scary what she goes through and the doctors trouble to find a way to diagnose and treat her. The story is riveting and reads more like a thriller than a memoir. 


What I'm Reading now: 

  • The Rose and The Dagger by Renee Ahdieh
  • The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood
  • Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King

Thanks for reading another one of my posts, I'll see you all next friday with my list of November 2017 releases!
