BOOKENDS: What I Read in October 2024

I read a LOT in October. aka a lot of KU novellas for spooky season! I very much enjoyed the fae countryside fantasy vibes of The Good and the Green and I hope to read the follow ups of this soon!! I continued Bennett’s historical romance series with Curled Up with an Earl and enjoyed it! Spookily Yours was a candy sweet Halloween romance (the hero is a cat). I revisited The House of Mirth for the first time in twelve years, and it brought me back to my last semester of undergrad and brought up a deep reflection on the passage of time. Robert’s follow up in The Kraken’s Secret was enjoyable (and I still wish these had more)!! The Kindle Unlimited series had either hits or misses, and Joe Hill and Josh Malerman were my favorites.
