This is legitimately my favourite challenge! I have wayyy to many books at home I've been neglecting.read
⫸ A Discovery of Witches - dnf: time actually went by slower reading this, so terminating it was the sensible thing to do.
⫸ One of Us is Lying - done: absolutely loved it and can't wait to contiue the journey.
⫸ Dangerous Remedy - done: this book is definitely embracing the good side of mediocre.
⫸ The Book on Pie: Everything You Need to Know to Bake Perfect Pies - done: it was absolute heaven. I want to bake them all.
definitely wasn't as successful as I hoped I'd be
Most books I read, are the ones that I own. So easy.I'll start with:

* Straight on til Morning -> Finished 11th of October

Really liked it, gave it 3,5 stars. Was just a bit too long.
@Ingerlisa and @JessicaCurious to see what you think of We were restless things. I DNFed it, didn't like it. It wasn't spooky at all the half that I read. It felt more like another whiny YA.
@T. Hampton
Hope you like Inkheart. It's one of my favorites.
@Clara and @Dana
Curious to read what you think of The raven boys. I really liked it and am enjoying the series a lot.
@Lacy
What did you think of Ready player one? It's one of my favorites :)
Only three for me so far - I've been very slack!

I finished The Raven Boys not too long ago and I really liked it! I'm excited to pick up the second book soon (after this month so I can read more of the ones I own)! Feel free to chat with me about it on my review or send me a message!

Hey, thanks for asking! So far, I'm enjoying Inkheart a lot. It's slow going, though, as I'm reading it aloud with my boys at bedtime. :)
@Dana Glad you liked it! I'm on the third book and really enjoyed the second one as well.@T. Hampton So cute that you're reading it with your boys, hope they like it too :)

I enjoyed it. The ending was a little abrupt but overall, it was good! I am such a big geek that I was able to understand a lot of the references. I think it might have helped that I watched the movie first. lol.
Almost forgot to post a final update!!! I definitely read more this month than I had planned to, and I'm glad about it!!!! In total i finished 6 whole books, so I did pretty good!!!!

Want to participate in OWNtober? You're in the right place!
Simply post your TBR here! (If you'd rather not make a TBR, just write down books as you begin them. Mood reading is a-okay, too!)
For the sake of efficiency, I've decided to merge these two threads this month! Now, when you progress in your TBR, you can update your original comment, add a comment stating your progress, or preferably, BOTH! Whether you've just started a new read, finished a book, or just want to share some thoughts, have at it!
If you'd like to update your original TBR comment as you progress, you can strike through the titles, add (READ) to the line, or whatever else you like. Feel free to add more to your TBR as the month progresses!
