Reading Rambo

It's almost October! The month almost everything amazing gets published! Also the month right before NaNoWriMo and right near the end of the year when some of us are panicking about finishing other books we've put off all year to hit those sweet sweet reading stats no one else cares about, so there is a lot going on.

I picked up a lot of October releases at BookExpo back in May, and I'm still psyched about most of them. Most excited about:


From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty (Oct 3, 2017)

The Witches, Stacy Schiff. Currently residing at my girlfriend's apartment, but I am totes going to read it, because Salem witch trials, who doesn't want that in October.


Lafayette in the Somewhat United States, Sarah Vowell. I know Vowell didn't plan for the publication of this to coincide with Hamilton madness, but that is FORTUITOUS timing and I already think this book is the bee's knees as of a quarter of the way through it.








Carry On, Rainbow Rowell. Yeah, like we're not reading the newest RR book.










The Sword of Summer, Rick Riorda…
