Month In Review

After a few slow months of reading, October gave me a boost.  My usual task of working through the Giller Prize longlist was responsible for it and once again I very much enjoyed reading so much CanLit.  Here is what I read in October, with my GoodReads ratings:

Between the World and Me - Ta-Nehisi Coates *****
The Illegal - Lawrence Hill *****
Daydreams of Angels - Heather O'Neill ****
All Inclusive - Farzana Doctor ****
Boundless - Bryan Bishop ****
Martin John - Anakana Schofield ****
Outline - Rachel Cusk ****
Confidence - Russell Smith ****
How to be a Grown-up - Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus ***

Challenges

Diversity on the Shelf (3), Canadian Book Challenge (6)

What I'm Looking Forward to in November

In October I was able to make a dent in my Netgalley list and once I finish the last few on my list, I plan to reward myself with some fun Christmas chick lit.
