Weekly Wrap Up: October 29-November 4

Honestly, this was quite possibly the saddest Halloween. Literally, two small children showed up together and said trick or treat, that’s it! I wish I would have known because then I probably would have dumped a whole bunch of candy in their bags. I need to move somewhere that gets a ton of kids on Halloween so I can give out a bunch of snacks and there will actually be people around to appreciate my decor and spooky ambiance.

What books did you guys read this week, any new favourites? I’d love to get more recommendations as if my TBR pile isn’t big enough already! What fandoms or mythologies would you like to see me cover? I really need some recommendations. Any reads on your autumn or winter TBRs? Books you’re looking forward to in 2018 or 2019? Anybody getting close to their Goodreads goal for 2018? I just recently hit mine. Let me know in the comments below!

    Only two trick or treaters??? That’s a tragedy D: Do kids not understand the importance of candy anymore or something?

    Usually my house gets an okay amount, but this year (despite the pouring rain) we got over a hundred and ran out of candy. I had to shut the door and turn off all the lights so people would stop coming.

    How are you enjoing Reflection? I keep hearing mediocre reviews for the Disney retellings in that collection.

      So far I’ve read two of the three previous books in the series and was not a fan of them. (Mandy read the third.) But Mulan is by a different author, so I have hopes that it’ll be better. Unfortunately, I had to temporarily put it aside for the book club stuff but I’m hoping my library gets an audiobook copy of it so that I can listen when I drive to work.

        Let’s hope the switch in authors makes a difference. A letdown on a fairy tale retelling from *Disney* is the absolute worst 😦 Yes, let’s get an audiobook going! I still need to get going on trying an audiobook at some point.

        My coworker borrowed the Sleeping Beauty one for her mom and returned a few days later. Her mom said, don’t ever get me one of those books again. Eeek!

    Omigosh, I heard that so much about how low turnout for kiddos was. Sad that it wasn’t all the greatness! 🙂 Hope you have a good reading week!
