Did I just skipped two months and went from a July wrap-up to an October one? Yes. Will I ever post about all those lost months? I hope so. I feel like 2020 is so weird I am living multiple timelines at the same time, a few of which has yet to catch up and realize it’s already November. Given that I study space science (sort of), let’s pretend I’m floating aimlessly in space, devoid of all sense of time. I buddy read for the first time in October! YAYYY! Shout out to E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook for being my first ever reading buddy! Also big thanks to Cas (IG: @casscannot.read), Laura (IG: @lezreadalot), Althea @ Althea Is Reading, and Brittany (Twitter: @britthebookguru) for reading with me. I also participated in a readathon for the first time! It was October’s Sapphic Saturday Readathon hosted by Sapphic Saturdays. I had so much fun I cannot wait for the next one in November! Stats Now for the actual stats. I read 15 books. All of them are fiction, two of which are novellas. 13 are sapphic (8 adult romance, 2 sci-fi, 2 horror, 1 YA romance), one is trans, achillean, and Latinx (YA fantasy romance), and one is Taiwanese American (m/f YA romance). 13 of them are by women or woman-aligned authors (12 different authors) while the other two are by nonbinary/genderqueer/trans authors. 9 of which are review copies from publishers and/or authors.
