It's been a little over a month since I last updated here on my current writing project, Death & Destiny in the Mountains , which is the second book in The Arcane Codex. The holiday season was busier for me than in the past, and it seemed to pass far too quickly. Regardless, I owe everyone an update.

Welcome to my monthly wrap-up post, where I talk about the books I read in a given month. October's post is a two-for-one special, as it includes my reading and blogging for both September and October, as I didn't write a wrap-up for last month. All of the excitement surrounding my debut novel's launch meant I didn't have much time to read in September, and I didn't want to publish a wrap-up featuring only one book. (It wouldn't be much of a wrap-up if I had). Between Septemb
