I had a great month of reading in October, probably my biggest month yet! I’ll be traveling quite a bit November and December, so I wanted to get ahead.

My Challenges:
I’m doing pretty well on my book challenges.
Goodreads 2022 Reading Challenge: With only one book to go… I think I’ve got this one!
2022 Audiobook Challenge: I’m at 25 out of 30 books, but I’ve listened to 5 more that I haven’t posted yet, so it’s just a matter of writing the reviews and posting them before the end of the year.
2022 NonFiction Reader Challenge. I’m at 3 out of 6, but I’ve listened to 3 nonfiction audiobooks in the last week that will count toward this challenge and the Audiobook Challenge ⬆️. So, once again, it’s just a matter of writing reviews and posting them before the end of the year.
20 Books of Summer Challenge. I completed this one. ✅
The 12 Books of Christmas Challenge. I’m at 10 out of 12 for this challenge, but I have 3 Christmas books that I have read, but haven’t posted the reviews yet.
I feel pretty good about my 2022 challenges. How are your challenges going this year?
Have you read any of these books? What books did you read in October?

It looks like you had a fantastic October! I’m so glad you read so many books and that most of them were books you loved! 😀 Good luck in November!
So many great looking books on this list! You have read so many books! I hope that your November is just as successful!
You read and listened to a ton of great books this past month! I’m looking forward to seeing where all you travel in the next couple months. You always make me wish I had a camper. And of course a husband to travel with me, lol.
What a great reading month! I think I managed 14 books which is slightly higher than normal for me. I’m reading It Starts With Us right now and am enjoying it so much. Glad to see it was one of your favorites!
That’s a great list of books. And I think it’s safe to say you’re totally rocking those challenges. Can’t believe it’s November already.
Wow, you read a lot last month. Good for you. 🙂
Great october!
Congrats on 31 books! I see a few I’ve read and then a few on my tbr. I’ll be reading The Man I Never Met this month. Happy reading in November!
You’re doing great on your reading challenges and an amazing October total reading.
Wow! That is an amazing reading month! Nice job! I love that you even got a head start on the cozy Christmas books. I have a few on my list. Have fun with your travels, and congrats on crushing your Goodreads goal.
Wow! 31 books for October? That’s awesome! You’re nailing your challenges as well. I only signed up for one besides my yearly Goodreads challenge and that was Kimberly’s audio book challenge. I’m at 79 and I need to get to 100. Hopefully I’ll make it! I’ve almost made my GRs challenge at 118/125. Although, I did lower that from 150 to 125 because with the move there was just no way. Good luck!
Well done! I am always amazed at the number of books some people can read in a day, a week, or month. I’m doing well if I read four in one month and that’s pushing it. Lol. 🙂
You certainly had a great month of reading. How nice that you had a space in there to get ahead in preparation for a busy November and December.
Sounds like you had a fantastic bookish October!
Thank you, Yvonnne!
You had an exceptional month of reading. I’m supposedly a few books ahead of schedule to complete my Goodreads yearly challenge but I don’t pay it much mind. Hope November is great!
Thank you, Tessa! I hope your November is great too.
Wow, that’s awesome Wendy!!! 31 is amazing! I have no idea how many I read in October, I haven’t done this post yet. I do know I read some books for my challenges…we’ll see what it looks like 😉
I plan on reading a bit less for the next few months, so I just wanted to get ahead.
A great reading month and well done on your challenges 💕
Thank you, Jenny!
Wow!! What an awesome month you had Wendy and you are doing great with your challenges as well! Great job!!🤗📚💜
Thank you, Susan! I plan to slow down these next couple of months so it was nice to get ahead.
A fabulous reading month! 🙌
Thank you, Carol!
This is a great month! I have read 6 of these.
Thank you, Deanna!
You had a wonderful month! I am looking forward to starting the audio for The Stand-up comedian.
I hope you enjoy it, Joanna.
Wow! You read so much in October!
I basically just read all month!
Wow, what a great month of books!
Thank you, Cathy!
Okay but like… i love how you read so many Christmas books! I was in a huge Christmas reading mood toward the end of October so I’m happy I’m not the only one! hehe.
Fantastic reading month! I’m jealous. I need to get back into reading 🙁
Thank you, Amber, I hope your enjoying your early Christmas books too!
Fantastic reading month Wendy! We share so many of these books! I hope you have a wonderful November!
I hope you have a wonderful November too, Jodie
Looks like such a good reading month! I’ve only read a handful of these, but several of them are on my TBR!
Thank you, Amanda. I hope you enjoy them.
