Goodbye, October! 'Tis the season for all the fireside and cozy reads. I have a few ones that I am excited for, because that's what we need after this crazy year, right? Cozy reads for the win!
Books Read in October:
1. The Lions of Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis (Adult Historical Fiction) - 4 out of 5 stars
2. The Glass Ocean by Karen White, Lauren Willig, and Beatriz Williams (Audio Book/Adult Historical Fiction) - 4 out of 5 stars - Review to come!
3. Troubles in Paradise (Paradise #3) by Elin Hilderbrand (Adult Fiction) - 4 out of 5 stars
4. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier (Adult Fiction/Classic) - 4 out of 5 stars

6. Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero by Chris Matthews (Biography/Audio Book) - 4 out of 5 stars - Review to come!
1. Favorite Book: I think it's a tie between The Glass Ocean and Troubles in Paradise. Both books were good in their own ways...Troubles was a great escape and The Glass Ocean was a fantastic historical read---just what we would expect from Team W.
2. Biggest Surprise: Rebecca really took my by surprise. I didn't except such beautiful writing and quote-worthy lines, but I guess that is what makes it a classic.
3. Biggest Disappointment: Chance of a Lifetime was just ok for me. I was hoping to care much more for the characters and for the story to have more of an Outlander vibe. That wasn't the case, but it was a nice escape overall.

5. Favorite Part of October: We had some warm days in October, so it was nice to still enjoy the sunshine and lots of walks outdoors.
