Smoke Bitten – Patricia Briggs (5 stars, reread)

October gave us a big variety of reading. I read five things that has been or will be mentioned soon in Down the TBR-hole posts, three things was part of a new post series I’m working on, one was a nice reread in anticipation for the next book in the series and one was a book circle pick. There was some good things, some great and some that I had wished a little more from.

On the Calculation of Volume I by Solvej Balle was one of the books that I wished more from and even though I gave it a fairly low rating, I’ll probably at least start the next book to see if we get an answer to the cliffhanger at the end.

October was also a month where I felt extra scattered in my reading, reading more books than usual at the same time and not really deciding which one to focus on. But that’s also the way I read, just picking up what I feel like (unless a book circle book needs to be read and prioritised).

What did you read in October? Any gold nuggets?
