💙📚🪐💙🎧 It's refreshing to read middle grade books as an adult sometimes. Adventure, a bit of danger. You can usually count on these books to turn out alright in the end. Not picture perfect, still good. This is book 2 and concludes the storyline well.

💙📚🪐 Book 2 of the trilogy! Not as good as the first. I still loved it. The story continues for our 5 MCs, as a few at least try to stop the end of the world as they know it. The end felt as if it could have been wrapped up, then twisted to keep going.

💙📚🎧 I enjoyed growing the relationship between Aleshia & Mukesh. It's interesting to me how different people can read the same book and have a different take away.
Many of the books on the list are familiar titles, though. I may try to read a few of them. Rebecca, sounds most interesting.

💙📚💡📚🎧 Solid book on maps. It covers several topics, history, political, gender divides, technology, etc. The audio book included a preferace, some foot notes for things that have been updated and a new chapter from the original.
Note: Much of map detail discussed is UK related.

💙📚 A bit outside my normal reads. I enjoyed this one, not knowing for sure if I could trust our MC's perception of reality. I didn't forsee the ending, neither was it a surprise. A good balance.

💙📚 November is typically a busy month for me with several family celebrations. It was a pretty good month for reading. Listen For The Lie, is a book slightly outside of my normal genres.

💡📚🪐 There is something about stories where people can travel to new places simply by opening a door. It's a bit of a mystery of what might lie beyond a door until you open it.

💙📚💡📚🎧 A good overview of different flavors of con women & notable figures.
More textbook research style than I had expected. Part of me was thinking this would be presented a bit like Catch Me if You Can.

♟️🎲 Played #ForbiddenJungle last night. We almost had it. Ran out of figures to place on the board with a bad run of cards. Needed perhaps one or two more turns.

💙📚💡📚🎧 I like listening to this around this time of year as a reminder to be thankful of the world around me and to appriciate it's gifts. I can feel the consumerism ramping up. This helps me to reign some of that in.

💙📚💡📚🎧 One of my favorite reads from October. I've not given mich thought to any unique foods that exist in America. It dows make me wonder about what might be in my backyard that I am missing. I'll have to explore The Ark of Taste on my own.

📚💙🪐A lot going on for length of this book. Shizuka's quest to deliver a 7th soul. Katrina finding herself despite a world against her. Lan also finding herself after delivering her family to safety.
Either expanding on the different threads or pairing down the storylines would have been help.

📚💙 The last 10 days of Oct were rough personally. I didn't read as much as I had hoped. Overall it was a good month. Highly recommend reading Endangered Eating. I want to dig into the Ark of Taste and see what foods may be super local to me.

♟️🎲 I was more than happy to bring #CritterKitchen to a #gamenight by request. I love how the a la carte expansion changes the game up a lot. I enjoy this best at 4 or 5 players. This particular game was close on points.

♟️🎲 Played #APlaceForAllMyBooks at a friend's house last week. The game is cute & cozy. Perfect for the introverted book lover. I'd like to play again & see if I can do better. Also different player counts. Debating if this is something to pickup for my own collection.

♟️🎲 Had the chance to play the co-op variant last night of #TerraformingMarsAres. We lost missing the the final 2 advancements of oxygen. VP total was no where near 80 for the winning condition. Overall I still think we did well.

💙📚🪐📚🎧 This didn't land the way The Starless Sea & The Ten Thousand Doors of January did for me. I don't know why. It's well written. Started slow, picks up speed as it keeps going. Perhaps there was a bit more terror & fear than I anticipated rather than exploring of worlds.
