Well hello November, you snuck up on me indeed.
I’m not sure where October went (it took half of my half term with it too!), but here we are… the end of another month, around for another bookish round up!
In October, I:
Visited Edinburgh with my favourite.
Spent most of my half term poorly.
Loved every second of being a teacher.
Got to interview David Levithan and Laura Steven at Waterstones (!!)
Went out to breakfast with my best friends.
Finished my first half term as an NQT.
Sang a lot of Livin on a Prayer.
Read 15 books (!!)
October was a pretty incredible month! I NEVER expected to have read 15 books! That’s blown my mind a little bit!

A Chase in Time – Sally Nicholls *
Rosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters – Andrea Beaty *

I also read The Next Person You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. I am a massive Mitch Albom fan. My review of this is to come!
I’m really chuffed with how many books I managed to read last month! There were definitely some stand outs! Keep your eyes peeled this week for a round up of reviews and some more in depth reviews too!
What about my book challenges?

Now that it’s November, we will be in for full swing Christmas mode at school! I am also sticking to my pledge of reading every night before bed.
