October is over and that means it's time to see how I did with my reading. As far as sticking to my TBR, I don't think I did great, but I did read 32 books in October, 15 of which were from the Goosebumps series by R.L. Stine (which was one of my reading goals, so mission half-way accomplished). I also got several reviews posted to the blog, although I think I completed fewer reviews than books, which is not so great because that means my review hole is bigger than it was at the beginning of the month. But let's dive in and see the numbers.

So I'd wanted to get 20 books from my list read this month (I read 12 from the list). I also wanted to get 20 reviews written and posted (I got 16 reviews posted, which is just one less than the number of non-Goosebumps books I read, so that's almost a win). While I started reading 8 books that weren't originally on my list at the beginning of the month, three of them are book club selections, so that's really only five off list books started, which is also pretty good for me, and two of those are library holds that came in. Overall, I'm fairly pleased with how October went, in spite of not meeting any of my originally stated goals. - Katie
