October was heavy on audiobooks but light on print reading.
A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny
🎃🎃🎃 3/5 Stars - a bit of Halloweeny fun!
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
⭐⭐ 2/5 Stars - Woefully underdeveloped, and neither satire nor literary fiction.
The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games #1) by Suzanne Collins
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars - 18 years late, but somehow I think I get more out of it as an adult.
Titus Alone (Gormenghast #3) by Mervyn Peake
🏚️🏚️🏚️🏚️ 3.5/5 Black Houses - The world outside of Gormenghast is just as a mad.
Gormenghast (Gormenghast #2) by Mervyn Peake
🏰🏰🏰🏰 4/5 Castles - Drama, action... romance? It really has everything!
Reading Roundup: September 2026
Excellent holiday reading.
The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey

The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton
🔭🔭🔭🔭 4/5 Celestial Bodies - An impressive literary archivement, though it is very long!
Wise Children by Angela Carter
👯🏻👯🏻👯🏻👯🏻👯🏻 5/5 Twins - It left an impression on me at 17 & it's just as fun 20 years later!
