Reading List: October 2021



It’s officially cozy season! Once October hits, I’m in my happy place - it’s getting colder, I’m swaddled in knit wear, it gets dark early and all of this is conducive to hot beverages, good reads and me listening to Swan Lake and The Nutcracker on repeat from now until early March.
 

Here’s what I’m reading this month:

  • Wolf Hall - My primary read for this month. I’m really excited to dive into this one and I have high hopes for it. It’s one of my most anticipated reads for this year and what is more autumnal than the crazy Tudors.
  • The Silence of Scheherazade - I started this late September and now I’m about 70 pages in. Kaye Publicity kindly sent me this copy for my review, for this book’s English launch that was on September 1, 2021. What really appeals to me about this novel is that it’s set just before the fall of the Ottoman Empire and then goes into the build up of WWI and the collapse of the Empire. There is something magnetic about this novel; when I’m reading it, I don’t want to put it down. 
  • Crime & Punishment - Ladies and gentleman, this is the LAST month you’re going to see this book on my monthly TBR list! I’m almost done and I’m giving myself a deadline. It has to be finished this month because I have conversations with other people scheduled (one will be on Youtube, so keep you eyes peeled) and I need to get a move on so I can also have enough time to write out my notes for these discussions.  
  • Northanger Abbey - I’m so thrilled to be venturing back to a good ole English classic this month. I haven’t read Northanger Abbey and I’m looking forward to Austen’s wit and charm - I’ve missed it. 
  • Surviving Home - I don’t have the physical copy yet. Book Publicity Services kindly reached out to me and asked me if I’d like an advanced copy of Katerina Canyon’s newest poetry collection, set to be released this December. I already have the e-book and will be diving in this month! I very, very rarely read poetry because I actually struggle with understanding it. However, what I sampled really intrigued me. Excited to read outside of my comfort zone this month. Thank you Book Publicity Services!
