NUMBER FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE
LAST. NOW. NEXT.
OCTOBER READING WRAP-UPTELL 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, and why.

I am curious why people read what they read, so tell me!
ONE BOOK A WEEK
In 2025 my goal is to continue to keep my reading down to one book a week.
(which is failing in grand fashion because I have already hit 52 books for the year, ha)
THEMES
My October theme was anything spooky, scary, or Halloween themed.
•
My November theme is Science Fiction for Sci-Fi Month. You can see my intended reading list in my HELLO NOVEMBER post.

This was another Libby suggestion, but unlike last time when I hated the recommended book, I loved this one! However... I loved it as YA and not Middle Grade as it was intended. Some of the themes were too mature for elementary grade students.

LUNAR CITY
Published 2017 - Libby Borrow

This was my last book read in October. I hadn't done the #ReadForGrace reading challenge in two years and felt a bit guilty, so I jumped in again. Grace, Grace Rebel Mommy Book Blog, was a wonderful book blogger who passed away from breast cancer in 2019.

I have had this ebook forever. I now have the other two books in the series, so I thought I would read it for November Sci-Fi Month. I just saw at least one of them is a prequel, so I might switch up and read that one next instead.

DYSTOPIAN
CLIMATE FICTION
Published January 2025 - Libby Borrow

Another Dystopian. I saw this book floating around and my curiosity was piqued. A lot of people who frequent my public library's weekly What Are You Reading This Weekend Facebook page post read it. Most of them didn't care for it, but they were all Chick Lit book club readers, so I thought I would read it anyway because Libby had it to borrow... no harm, no foul if I didn't like it. Well, I didn't like it either, but for a different reason. They didn't like it because it was more like Literary Fiction, which I liked. The author is a good storyteller, but she did zero research about the climate science she was writing about, and she made a lot of assumptions about other things like honey being in traditional Native American pemmican. Honey bees are not native; they were brought here from Europe by colonists in the mid-1600s.

GOODREADS
I had a lot to say about this "pretendian" author and her disrespectful hot mess of a "Science Fiction" story which was in actuality lame cheesy Horror. I was not happy I wasted a Hoopla borrow on it.

This is my annual vintage read for Sci-Fi Month. Be careful if you are wanting to buy the ebook because on Amazon all links even for the free edition (the one I have) and the 99¢ ebook go to a $2.99 "modernized" version by some jerk who has only taken out wonderfully detailed descriptions and is making money from this author's work. The sequel is only 99¢. The other guy's bastardized sequel is $2.99. Good grief.

I have been re-reading this every long Thanksgiving weekend for the past few years. However, this year I might read Jo's Boys the third March family novel to change things up.
