October Month in Review // November Preview

I am officially all caught up on my reading! It feels lovely. For the remaining two months of 2014, I've been careful not to schedule reviews, so I only have a couple that are dated. That means I'm free to read on a whim, which is such a blessing!

I want to get in as many "best of the year" contending titles as I can for when I make you a Best Of 2014 list, and I want to catch up on some series. Okay, I also want to read a few 2015 ARCS! Last night I finished reading a book coming out this week, FORBIDDEN by Kimberly Griffiths Little, just for fun, and the book was great...so relaxing to just be!

Anyone else with me on that one?
