October 2024 TBR

October is our busy band month, so I'm keeping my TBR short and sweet. Last month, I read everything on my TBR (woohoo!!) and then some, finishing 14 books. I read more Kindle books in September than I have in a long time which is one of my goals. This month I have two overdue Netgalley reads (both Kindle books) that I would like to finish and then we'll see where the month goes from there. It would be really nice to read some paranormal or spooky reads for the season!

My TBR for October:

• Recommended for You by Laura Silverman (Kindle - Netgalley)
  
• Engagement & Espionage by Penny Reid (Kindle - Netgalley)
  

What are you planning on reading in October?
