Monthly Rewind: October 2016

Looking back on this month, it was pretty boring. I read very little, wrote very little and worked most of this month. Aside from deciding to go on holiday to Morocco in December with my family, October was a quiet month.  I was overwhelmed with now having to work from home and having to go through UCAS on my own again, so I didn’t get much done this month, unfortunately!

I read 5 books this month! Eek! It was such a slow reading month for me. Might be the same again because of NaNo.

• Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3) by Sarah J. Maas
• Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1: No Normal & Ms. Marvel, Vol. 2: Generation Why by G. Willow Wilson
• The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1)  by Maggie Steifvater
• Unveil the Veil by Hanna N. Rabi

• #DiversityDecBingo – @novelparadise and many others on twitter are starting a reading bingo thing for December. I’m usually terrible when it comes to book bingos and readathons, so this will be my first time attempting one. December is a month away but I’ve already made a list of books for each section.
• 5 South Asian books you need to check out this fall – Recently, I’ve been looking for more books from set in or about South Asia so this list is PERFECT.
• Let’s Talk About: ‘Issues’ Stories, Happy Stories & Why We Need Both – the title is self-explanatory.
• 30 Books with Latinxs as MCs [in YA/NA/Adult Fiction] – While I was more interested in the YA section, I will definitely try to look into the NA/A section!
• AsianYA – A new Tumblr that was created this month to highlight Asian authors and stories.

That’s it for this month! Tell me what went on in YOUR life this month! What sort of things were important for you this month? New obsessions? New TV shows? Or book? Any new song recs (I’m always open for new music!)? Best books you read this month?
