October Wrap-Up + My Mini Readathons!

In the Philippines, Halloween isn’t celebrated as grand as it is in the West. Fair enough there had been, themed shows, parks (the scare houses), here locally that features such events. And I loved them all. Well, it is quite* enough for me. I am a couch potato after all.

I have curated a mini Halloween readathon for myself. So, that I won’t disappoint others in the process of not succeeding haha!* 

Fortunately, that isn’t the case this month. It seems like I went overboard than my monthly usual reading. I had marathoned some Throne of Glass novels, and the aforementioned mini themed readathon, plus other books.
