And it’s time for my second blog tour of the day – this time it’s a review of Angel Mage, the fun new fantasy from Garth Nix!

Blog Tour: Crier’s War
Crier’s War is one of the best YA fantasies I’ve read in a long time, and it’s f/f to boot! I’m so excited to be bringing you my review as part of the blog tour today!
TBR Check In: October 2019
September flew by! I feel like I’ve barely been paying attention and the days have just slipped past – I certainly haven’t been blogging as much as I’d hoped…
Goodreads Reading Challenge
I didn’t make it to 50 books, unfortunately, but I got to 39, which is slap bang in the middle for monthly reads this year, so I won’t complain! I’m up to 344 books for the year, so there’s only 23 to go until I hit my target, which I’m confident I can do before the end of October. And then we’ll have to see what happens…
My Owned TBR
My owned TBR is currently at 623, which means that it’s gone down by 13 books! I haven’t bought a single book (though I wasn’t officially on a ban), but I’ve been very lucky with book post from publishers, so I’m genuinely pretty surprised. Who’d have thought that not buying books would mean you had a smaller TBR, hey? I’m also laughing at my January self, who thought I could whittle this down by 20 books a month – yeah right!
NetGalley
I have 143 books awaiting review currently, though I’ve been seriously proactive about reviewing them, with 17 submitted in September. I was only approved for 10, as I’ve been trying hard not to request things unless I’m sure I’ll love them.
Blog Tours
Three blog tours for me in October, with two happening tomorrow (I know, I know, I’ll stop double booking myself eventually, but it does make things exciting)!
2nd – Crier’s War by Nina Varela
2nd – Angel Mage by Garth Nix
11th – This Earl of Mine by Kate Bateman
The TBR
I made a very detailed TBR last month, and though I did end up reading many of them, I also felt very constrained by it, so I’m giving myself a TBR-less month! I’d like to read a few more NetGalley books, and some of the things I’ve borrowed from friends, but that’s as specific as I’m getting.
Let this month be the month of the mood read!
Review: Fairy Tales for Fearless Girls
I don’t talk much on here about my interest in fairy tales, but I’ve done a lot of research into them and love to read new collections and retellings. Fairy Tales for Fearless Girls is billed as a collection highlighting strong female characters, and it doesn’t disappoint!
Review: The Bone Ships
It’s the UK release day for one of the most exciting books of the year, The Bone Ships by RJ Barker! Are you ready for your buckles to be swashed?
Blog Tour: The Colour of Death
And my second blog tour of the day is for the new book from Elizabeth Davies, who wrote the phenomenal Caitlyn books (reviews here for Three Bloody Pieces, A Stain on the Soul, and Another Kind of Magic) – The Colour of Death is a really interesting vampire story with hints of horror and romance!
Blog Tour: A Little Hatred
Today I’m kicking off not one but two blog tours, and the first is for one of the hottest new releases of this year, A Little Hatred!
