October Monthly Wrap-Up

October is OVER.

Ugh, my favorite month and it was my most enjoyable as well! I really, really loved it. Book wise and personal wise it was really good. My mental health was definitely down for a bit and I was scared. The most scared I’ve been for awhile but in the second half it made a return and I feel better.

I decided that since this month is the most bewitching of all that I would only read scary/books that go bump in the night.

Lmaooo, I don’t know if that was the brightest since I’ve been having some WILD nightmares. I had fun though.

I also wrote a miniseries that I have been dying to do about women who write horror books. It’s been a really great month.

I turned 30, I met somebody, and I’m going to end this year with a bang 🙂

So let’s go ahead and wrap this month up book style shall we?
