I got a lot of reading done this month! I needed to get back on track and focus on my 2017 reading goals, and I did just that. I finally finished reading the first 64 books in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series. I also made headway on my Gilmore Girls reading challenge, and I read some books on the Bookriot lists for hilarious books and monster books. Below are all of the books I read in October.
