SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER READING WRAP-UP

TELL ME TUESDAY is a floating feature, depending on your reading style, where you tell us what you read last, what you are reading now, what you will be reading next from your tbr pile, and why. I am curious why people read what they read, so tell me!

LAST WEEK'S TMT

MY GOODREADS REVIEW

★★★★

ADULT FICTION

HAINISH CYCLE #4

SCIFI

CLASSIC

Published 1969 - Hoopla Borrow

This is my second read for SciFi Month. I had a love/hate relationship with this story. If I had rated on the writing alone it would have been a mediocre three stars, but the themes within the book where extremely relevant to current affairs in the world, and also thought provoking. I think with stories like this I always compare them to the Dune books, and it was a mere shadow compared to the worldbuilding, setting description, and character development in Herbert's series.

ADULT FANTASY

DISWORLD SERIES

MOIST VON LIPWIG #3

HUMOR

Published November 2013 - Own Kindle Library

I changed my mind and am reading the TURTLE RECALL Facebook group read selection for November instead of Mort.

MIDDLE GRADE

STANDALONE

REALISTIC FICTION

NEWBERY AWARD

Published 1963 - Own Kindle Library

This is my Newbery book for November. It also counts towards my 2020 A Year of Classics personal reading challenge. I am also hoping there is some bullying in it, so I have a book for the Anti-Bullying Read-A-Thon without needing to add another title to my November TBR. Maybe I'll try to find some picture books to read also.

NONFICTION

NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE

MENTAL HEALTH

Published March 2019 - Hoopla Borrow

This is my Nonfiction for this month, and also for November Native American History Month.

ADULT FICTION

DUNE SERIES #2

SCIENCE FICTION

Published Own Physical and Kindle Library

This will count as a re-read (third time), for my 2020 A Year of Classics personal challenge, and for SciFi month. Baz will finally be able to discuss it with me in more detail because I dropped out of our buddy re-read of the original six books last year, like a loser mom. Ha ha.
