Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han -
I started this series in August and instantly knew I just had to finish it straight away. I have really enjoyed this series as a whole and loved this final book. I thought it was a really great ending to a really loveable series. I have loved all the characters throughout and, while they do things and make decisions that annoy me, I loved seeing how their stories wrap up. The relationship between Lara Jean and her sisters is easily my favourite aspect of this series and it played just as important a role in the final book, I could read about their relationship forever. I'm sad to have finished this series but I'm so glad I read it and can't wait to no doubt reread it in the near future.

What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera -
I read books by both of these authors for the first time this year and knew I wanted to read more, so when I found out they were bringing out a collaborative work I had to pick it up. This book follows two teenage boys living in New York who happen to meet in a post office while one is sending a box of things back to his ex-boyfriend, but fail to get each others details. I absolutely loved the whole searching for each other plot, I thought it was fun and exciting and I just wish it had lasted a little longer. Unfortunately, I didn't love the rest of the book quite as much. I liked the relationship to begin with but found myself getting irritated by Arthur 90% of the time. I did enjoy the story but I didn't love the characters and it seemed to go on a little too long. I wanted to love this but I think I liked the idea more than the book itself.

Easy Prey by Catherine Lo -
Oh I have such mixed feelings about this book! This is about three students who had access to naked pictures of a teacher prior to them being leaked on the internet, yet all three deny doing so. I really enjoyed the majority of this book. I liked the story and found the characters interesting, it was generally a good book. However, I worked out who had done it very early on and while I understand why things happened the way they did, I really did not agree with it. Part of me wants to rate this book really low on the basis of my feelings on how things evolved but, at the same time, I do think it was cleverly written and an overall enjoyable read.

A poor reading month in terms of numbers and a pretty average reading month in terms of quality. I'm hoping for one final big push now that were heading for the end of the year, hopefully I can read some new favourites in the next couple of months.
How was your reading month in October? Did you find any new favourites?
Sophie :)
